Park Avenue Cap-Toe Oxford
The Park Avenue is the gold standard for American-made dress shoes, featuring a 360-degree Goodyear welt that allows for multiple resoles over decades. It uses premium fine-grain calfskin leather and a cork-infused midsole that molds to the wearer's foot for a custom fit.

Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike competitors like Johnston & Murphy or Cole Haan, Allen Edmonds uses a true Goodyear welt rather than cement or Blake stitching, and they offer a full 'Recrafting' service to rebuild the shoe when the sole wears out.
