I had to reblog this from thisfits, as it’s the last day of the sale. Getting 30% off of Allen Edmonds is probably the largest discount I’ve seen happen at full retail:
Edit: my bad, forgot to include the promo code details. SHOESALE, PIN 1105. Expires Thursday, September 8th.
Honestly, I’m not too sure what to make of these. I love the idea of a lug sole, captoe boot for fall. But the product shots aren’t very flattering, and you can clearly see creases in the leather, as if these have already been worn.
But here’s the deal: they’re made of full grain leather. In the USA. By Allen Edmonds.
See?
And that alone makes these worthy of consideration as a boot for fall and mild winters, especially at this price.
I’m also not completely sure if a lug sole is for everyone, however, if you’re in a more casual work (or lifestyle) environment where you can wear denim constantly, then I think this would be a nice fit.
If you want some alternatives and have about a hundred bucks more to spend, then I’d take a look at Charles Tyrwhitt (which constantly has a rotating amount of sales). They have a pair of tan brogue boots and brown military captoes. My pair of last season’s captoes is pretty decent and I’d recommend them definitely if you can score them below their current $300 asking price.

Full grain boot leather (in my experience) wrinkles very easily. My Saddleback leather bag (made of FGBL) wrinkled the first time I opened and closed it. Here it’s probably from being tied, then untied. I wouldn’t let that be a deal breaker.
