Product Description
Alaska’s Katmai National Park is without a doubt the best place in the world to watch brown bears in their natural habitat. Inspired by the majestic beauty of these amazing animals, Allen Edmonds used a waxy suede leather to create this ankle-high boot, giving it an organic finish emblematic of the great bears’ distinct fur. The rounded toe of the 511-Last on which this model is built combined with the three-eyelet blucher design ensure a snug fit, while the leather lining along the inside and on the foam insole will give you much needed cushioning. Allen Edmonds didn’t forget these are boots first and foremost, so they also have a split reverse welt and Toby mini-lug sole for added protection and strength that make them perfect for a day hike on the range, a tailgate before the game, or apple picking with the family.

Recently purchased at a great price. I am not thrilled with the quality of the suede, odd bald/thin spots across the shoe but no construction issues that I have read about at other websites. Make sure you have a brush for upkeep and waterproof them. The heel is a little looser than other AE, toe box is a little tight. The toe has an odd "burnish" on the toe, I am not crazy about this as it flattens the nap, but a combo brush takes care of this. Recommended at the right price.

If the one last fits, this is a great shoe. The buckskin is an excellent finish and look. Not real fond of the rubber sole and foam insert, I think this is overall a step down in quality from previous casual shoes. However, much better than other product on the market from other brands. It just seems to walk a little 'harder'. But, at this price, do not hesitate, it will upgrade your look and comfort.

Shoe building is a lost art. Today, factories stamp out millions of shoes every year. All are produced with economy in mind. Lowest cost and grade possible, in order to maximize profits by selling in volume. With Allen Edmonds, you still get a shoe that is crafted with the wearer in mind.
These shoes are built with the intention of durability. You will own these shoes forever. Your job is to take care of the leather. In this case, suede. Before you wear them, apply a liberal coat of Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Spray-On Footwear Treatment, clean regularly with Nylon Suede Cleaning Brush and Suede and Nubuck Leather Cleaner Liquid, and reapply Nikwax as needed. Or use the product line that Allen Edmonds offers through it's website and retail stores.
Okay, so what you have here is a suede version of the Allen Edmonds Men's Malvern Boot. Leather lined for comfort. I often wear these without socks. Three eyelets that securely lace the shoe to the top of the foot, and just high enough to protect and support your ankles. Good-Year welted with a lug sole to handle any and every environment. This is the casual hiking boot version of a dress shoe. Reminiscent of the Men's Rocky Comfortable Waterproof High Gloss Dress Leather Chukka Boots and Bates® Bates(tm) Leather Padded Collar Chukkas police officers are first issued in the police academy. Engineered for pounding the beat for the next 25 years of your life. Don't be shy and only wear them with casual Friday khakis. I take these shoes outdoors.
They are made for adventure. Take them on the trail with you. Mine have gone camping, hiking, fishing, 4X4 rock crawling, as well as cross town treks on public transportation. This is an essential shoe for the urban warrior in places like New York, Seattle, and San Francisco where you do a lot of walking and may have to fight your way in and out of tough neighborhoods.
