I’m not going to tell you this is the best time to buy dress shoes … because you’re most likely not going to be wearing them now or even in the next few months.
But if you’re the type who plans ahead — buying summer clothes at heavy discounts during the winter, for example — this is actually an ideal time to up your sartorial game.
So take advantage of Allen Edmonds when they throw a 40% off sale on dress shoes, one of the best footwear deals we’ve seen this year. The Wisconsin-based cordwainer has been handcrafting Goodyear-welted shoes since 1922, utilizing a 212-step manufacturing process that sounds exhausting.
Which means their stuff is good, albeit a bit pricey. So seize the current moment and get ready to look your best when dressed-up normalcy returns.
Bonus: Most of the shoes below are available in multiple colors and sizing doesn’t appear to be limited at this time.
