BOOT COLLECTION Every Allen Edmonds Man should have a pair of boots in his wardrobe this fall. Whether you prefer a boot that’s a little dressier, such as the Malvern or Bayfield, or a boot that’s a little more rugged, such as the Cascade, the Allen Edmonds Boot Collection offers a range of styles to fit all tastes.
Michael Beauchamp Michael Beauchamp took a hiking trip at the Grand Canyon with nine members of his extended family over New Year’s. Other family members prepared with new boots, hiking shoes and crampons, but to their amusement, Mr. Beauchamp was determined to wear the most comfortable shoes he owned – his rubber-soled pair of Allen Edmonds. In total, the group hiked sixteen miles, trudging through mud, snow-covered terrain, and even crossing over creeks. Four hikers in the group took spills along the way, but Mr. Beauchamp wasn’t one of them. He saw many people tending to blistered feet at the halfway point, but his feet had never felt better. His Allen Edmonds shoes felt comfortable and provided great support. After climbing out of the canyon, Mr. Beauchamp’s party made reservations at the El Tovar Lodge Dining Room to celebrate. His shoes looked nice enough to wear out for dinner after a quick cleanup with a damp cloth, and they looked brand new again after a shoeshine at the Phoenix airport. Mr. Beauchamp’s story, along with similar stories from many other AE Men, helped inspire our boot collection, with both polished and more rugged styles to choose from.
