Greetings Allen Edmonds Friends, This year, Allen Edmonds celebrates its 90th anniversary. From its humble 1922 beginning in Belgium, Wisconsin, this company has withstood the Great Depression, World War II, the social upheaval of the 1960s, the leisure suit and disco insanities of the 1970s, the demise or mass offshore exodus of almost all other U.S. shoe manufacturers, a 1984 plant fire that destroyed our production capacity, the “casualization” of American business dress in the go-go 1990s, the ensuing grunge weekend trends in the 2000s, the Financial Crisis of 2008 and the Great Recession. In any industry, a 90th Anniversary is a rare achievement. As a U.S. manufacturer in the shoe industry, it’s downright remarkable.

90TH
ANNIVERSARY
Along the way, Allen Edmonds’ workers have enjoyed a great many accomplishments together. AE made standard-issue Army boots and dress uniform shoes for our fighting men in World War II. As each new President from Reagan through Bush II raised his right hand for the Oath of Office, our calfskin Park Avenues were on his feet. President Obama also wears our shoes to Affairs of State, as does the Prime Minister of Canada and other governmental leaders. Business leaders in corner offices all around the country and internationally swear by Allen Edmonds quality and value. We’ve made shoes for several Hollywood movies like Titanic, Road to Perdition, The Legend of Bagger Vance and the Ocean’s Trilogy. And we’re the shoe of choice for professional athletes, musicians, authors and actors known all over the world. Most gratifying to the current stewards of this great company are the 500 U.S. employees (100 more than at the beginning of 2010) whose livelihoods are sustained by this business success. A new milestone will be reached in 2012 – the first Allen Edmonds store will open in China under our new license agreement with an experienced Chinese retailer. Yes, the tables are turned and Allen Edmonds will be exporting Made in USA products for sale to consumers in Shanghai and Beijing. But what really keeps us going are leaders in all walks of life across North America: successful yet humble men who really make this world work, extend their hands in friendship, volunteer in their communities and take care of their families. For these men, we have a lot of new ideas in the pages of this catalog. International fashions continue to favor authentic American styling – brogue wingtips, a wider variety of classic calfskin leather colors, rugged cowhide looks that evoke the American West, unconstructed/unlined shoes that combine vintage styles with younger accents and comfort, the elegance of shell cordovan, sophisticated finishings that “pop” like never before, and a much more flexible customization program to allow you to “have it your way”. Plus, in honor of our Anniversary, the re-introduction of the Broadstreet spectator style and a replica of our WWII Army boot will be available for fall delivery – two shoes that helped define Allen Edmonds over the decades. To you and, very possibly, also your fathers, grandfathers, uncles, friends, bosses and mentors, we extend our deepest thanks for your loyal support of 90 years of Great American Shoemaking. Warm wishes,
Paul D. Grangaard President & CEO Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation
