Allen Edmonds Men's Delray Moc Toe Oxford

Customer Reviews

Another great Allen-Edmonds shoe

The Delray is a very stylish Allen-Edmonds shoe. These shoes look great and as can be expected with Allen-Edmonds products, they are of superb quality and craftsmanship. This oxford has a leather upper, lining, and sole, with a rubber heel pad. It is a moc toe design. All in all, a very good looking shoe that is both durable and comfortable.

Don't forget to take care of your shoes by cleaning and polishing them occasionally. Polishing doesn't just help your shoes look their best - it also covers and repairs the damage caused by normal wear and tear. It also moisturizes the leather, which keeps it flexible.

I strongly recommend using shoe trees when storing your shoes. Shoe trees fill out the shoe, and help maintain the shape of the leather. Make sure that your shoe trees are made of cedar. Cedar helps to absorb odors and moisture, which lengthens the life of your shoe.

And don't forget that when you buy Allen-Edmonds, recrafting is available to you through them if at any point in the future you decide that you need it. For a reasonable fee, they will recraft your shoes and make them look like new again. You can find information on the Allen-Edmonds recrafting process on their website.

Allen Edmonds all the way.

Great shoes! This is my first pair of leather-soled dress shoes... definitely a lot less comfortable than rubber-soled shoes, particularly if you are planning on standing for a long period of time. Also a bit less comfortable for walking, mostly because leather soles do not really have traction. This is also part of the reason why I bought them, because they're better for dancing.

One other problem I've had with both these and the Kennett (essentially a rubber-soled version of the Delray with slightly different vamp/toe) is the fact that while most of the shoe fits well, the heel feels a bit loose. I'm not sure if I should downgrade to a 10.5, as some 11's in AE do feel large on me (and I usually wear a 10.5), but it's not a big enough problem to lessen my appreciation of the shoe. Otherwise the fit is fine...

Overall: These are great shoes, and I don't have a lot to complain about. They are relatively comfortable, attractive, and are, I expect, going to last me quite some time. Impeccable styling! I also take pride in supporting quality American manufacturing. If you have any doubt about the price tag, Amazon and-- more so- eBay offer some great deals on some AE shoes, but it's worth every penny, especially over the junk sold these days by formerly reputable companies like Florsheim or J&M.
