NIB: Allen Edmonds Fifth Ave Walnut 12E

**ducatisteve** · 08-06-2010, 07:07 AM

SOLD!

UPDATED: Extra goodies thrown in further down the thread, and now also trading.

Hey guys!

I have a pair of brand new Allen Edmonds Fifth Ave in Walnut size 12E. The only time these have been worn was yesterday in the store when I was trying them out. Included with the shoes are the AE shoe bags, AE Walnut shoe polish, and some cedar trees from Nordstrom Rack. I think all together it would be a pretty good deal for $275 -> $250 shipped CONUS/Canada and Paypal'd. I apologize for the cell phone pictures, if there is anything you would like to see specifically, please let me know and I would be happy to oblige!

I will also happily entertain trades for shave stuff. I'd like to get into straights, but am always game for creams/soaps/splashes so throw out some offers!

Did you buy these for purposes of resale/profit here?

**Bayamontate** · 08-06-2010, 07:51 AM

That's a $300 pair of shoes, I don't think he is looking to profit. 1/2 size smaller I'd be on them.

**ducatisteve** · 08-06-2010, 07:54 AM

Sorry for raising eyebrows, but no I am not looking to just make a quick profit. I'd be selling these at a loss.

I had purchased a pair of their Cascade boots at the AE store in Orlando a couple weeks ago and lost the receipt. I didn't really like the boots, but because I didn't have the receipt all they could do was offer me an exchange. I chose these because I do really like them, but if they'll sell I'll be using the funds to get a pair of Alden Indy boots. If they don't sell, then that's alright, I still have a nice pair of shoes.

All is well, then.

**ducatisteve** · 08-06-2010, 10:43 AM

Actually, looking around it seems that selling these shoes might be a lot easier than finding Alden Indy's in 11.5E in any color. If anyone has any tips for me, I've checked with Shoe Mart, Leather Soul, and Alden of Carmel.

**SteveM** · 08-06-2010, 11:54 AM

Those are the places to check. Perhaps contact the factory.

I would imagine any of those dealers should be able to special order the shoe for you as well.

Crap I wish these were my size. I love AE shoes.

**Philosophy Student** · 08-06-2010, 07:48 PM

If these were in my size id have snatched them up.

**ducatisteve** · 08-07-2010, 09:06 AM

Bump! :-)

**Zumkopf** · 08-07-2010, 11:17 AM

Have you tried their factory store(s)? They may have unlisted stock.

**ducatisteve** · 08-07-2010, 05:03 PM

I'll also throw in a bottle of Allen Edmonds Leather Lotion and one of their horsehair brushes. Both are new except for a few drops of the lotion I used on my wallet. And if you have some suede or nubuck shoes that need caring for, I have the AE suede/nubuck brush and protection spray as well. That's over $30 worth of extra goodies!

**FrankC** · 08-07-2010, 05:44 PM

These are my size and I would love to grab them if they were here 3 weeks ago or in a few weeks! Hit me during my poor cycle

**ducatisteve** · 08-08-2010, 06:42 AM

Bump, now entertaining trades for straights/creams/soaps/splashes. I've never used straights before, so kits would be awesome as well.

Frank, I might be PM'ing you at the end of the month if they're still around!

**ducatisteve** · 08-08-2010, 08:32 PM

Price drop to $250 or trades for neat shave stuff!

**troy1979** · 08-08-2010, 08:52 PM

I have 6 pair of AE shoes they have more comfort than tennis shoes. I would keep them, when they ware out send them back to AE and they will completely rebuild them for you for about $89. great shoes

**ducatisteve** · 08-09-2010, 06:17 AM

Oh yeah, I'm super familiar with AE's quality. This is my third pair of Fifth Ave's, and my black pair has been sent in for recrafting twice (one reheel and I splurged on the prestige package once....totally worth it). And I've already ordered the Aldens that I told SWMBO that I would only get if I sold these! I better sell these Fifths before UPS comes knocking on Friday!

BTW, the service at Alden of Carmel is absolutely fantastic. If anyone is considering getting a pair of their shoes I highly recommend speaking with Adam Knott.
