Allen Edmonds
Allen Edmonds is an upscale shoe manufacturing and retail company based in Port Washington, Wisconsin. The company was established in Belgium, Wisconsin in 1922. Allen Edmonds operates 52 retail stores in 28 states. It manufactures its shoes in the United States, as well as in Italy and the Dominican Republic. Allen Edmonds, along with E. Vogel, Oliver Moore Bootmakers, Alden, Johnston & Murphy, Rancourt & Co, and Esquivel, are the handful of manufacturers still making men's dress shoes in the USA. The company delivers numerous collections of men's shoes, including dress shoes, dress casual shoes, casual, and golf shoes.
In 2006, 90% of the shares in the company were bought by Minneapolis-based investment firm Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison for $100 million.〔(US: Goldner Hawn buys majority of Allen-Edmonds ), just-style.com, Jul. 21, 2006.〕〔(Rick Romell, Port shoe firm sold: Investors pay $100 million for Allen-Edmonds ), ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'', Jul. 21, 2006.〕 In 2013, the company announced that it would be acquired by private equity firm Brentwood Associates.

==History==
Allen Edmonds gained much of its following after providing shoes to the US Army and US Navy during World War II, with many of the recipients of the shoes being loyal to the brand for the rest of their lives.〔(Aaron Nathans Allen-Edmonds Keeps Its Shoes on an American Factory Floor ), ''New York Times'', May 29, 2004.〕
Allen Edmonds is a moderately expensive brand of shoes that men typically wear for a very long time and repair rather than replace. The company offers recrafting services, rebuilding a pair of shoes for a fee, replacing soles and heels, creating a new cork base and strip, and reapplying the finish.〔(StyleFile: Taking care of business women ), ''The Denver Post'', March 19, 2009.〕 The Horween Leather Company supplies leather shells for footwear to Allen Edmonds.
