Deal: Allen Edmonds “Factory Seconds” Footwear Is Over 50% Off

It’s the slight defects and blemishes that really make us who we are, right?

Maybe that’s true, or maybe that’s a nice way to look at Allen Edmonds Factory Seconds Sale, where a lot of really nice dress shoes — with some slight imperfections — are selling for $149-$199.

That’s over 50% off a solid selection (292 items!) of dress boots, penny loafers, cap-toe oxfords, chukkas and assorted handsome footwear, all hailing from a U.S.-based cordwainer that’s been at the footwear game since 1922. 

So, a few caveats: There’s a $25 restocking fee if you make a return, and you won’t know exactly what the blemishes are until you get the shoes. In our experience, though, they are always extremely minor: a weird stitch here, a minor imperfection in the leather there.

If you’re feeling lucky, here’s a few styles we dig:

Liverpool Chelsea Dress Boot

Carlyle Plain-Toe Oxfords

Wooster Street Penny Loafer
