Allen Edmonds is fresh off its Summer Warehouse sale that saw sharp discounts on top-selling dress shoes and business casual sneakers. And though the sale has ended, some styles are still sporting markdowns, including the brand's cool and comfortable cap-toe that's up to $175 off.
The Allen Edmonds Strandmok Dress Shoes are on sale for as low as $250 right now—up to 41% off the normal price. These classic cap-toe shoes have earned hundreds of five-star ratings across the site from shoppers who agree that they "fit perfectly" and are "comfortable beyond words." The Strandmok is currently marked down in a handful of colors and is still available in sizes 7 to 14 with narrow and wide widths available, but they're selling out rapidly.
The Strandmok is a comparative newcomer to the Allen Edmonds lineup, having debuted in 2013, but capturing the hearts of well-dressed men nonetheless. Most of the models that are on sale are made from fine suede and feature its hallmark Dainite rubber sole that provides more traction and shock absorbency than traditional leather. Aside from its unique sole, the Strandmok is immediately recognizable by its intricate brogue detailing across the heel, collar, and vamp, in addition to the illustrious medallion on the toe that seemingly defines the style.
"The unique design garners compliments everywhere," one shopper said. "The burnished leather gives the shoes a time-worn appearance that complements everything from jeans to dress pants." Another shopper agreed, saying, "The Strandmok Cap-Toes are so versatile and just look better than any casual dress shoe."
But the fan base wouldn't be as big if the shoes weren't supremely comfortable. "Comfortable out of the box," one shopper said. "In the succeeding weeks, they have only improved in their comfort…my experience has been beyond anything I've had in a hard-sole shoe. I have never had a shoe feel this good, ever."
If a polished dress shoe look isn't your thing, Allen Edmonds' Strandmok is the shoe you need to perfectly balance dashing with durable. Sizes are already selling out, so make sure to pick up yours before they're gone for good.
