  • Allen Edmonds Reimagines Iconic Styles for Casual Moment
    NEWS RELEASE Allen Edmonds Reimagines Iconic Styles for Casual Moment 11/4/2020 The Evolution of the Great Dress Shoe ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Caleres (NYSE: CAL) brand Allen Edmonds has always had a loyal following for its iconic styles – the Park Avenue and the Strand. This fall, the brand has taken both and remixed to make them more suitable for everyday causal wear. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201104005747/en/ Allen Edmonds, Strand Sneaker (Photo: Business Wire) “The Park Avenue has been Allen Edmonds best-selling shoe for over 40 years – in fact we’ve sold over a million pairs since it rst hit the market,” said Keith Duplain, senior vice president and general manager heritage brands. “Today our consumers are moving from dress to lifestyle looks – searching for athletic-inspired and hybrid-casual styles – so it made great sense to take both silhouettes into a sneaker cup sole design to match our customers’ needs in this moment.” The new sneakers launched in September 2020 and are positioned to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity in the active and casual space. These sneakers use the same high-quality leather upper as a standard Park Avenue and Strand designs. And the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “These two new styles have quickly become our best-selling casual sneakers, routinely outselling their dress counterparts online in recent weeks and are now on back order,” added Duplain. In this environment, it’s important that brands innovate to nd their own distinct casual identity while at the same 1 time staying true to their brand voice.

The new Honors Collection of golf shoes brings almost a century of classic, handcrafted style, unrivaled comfort and time-tested performance to the sport of golf. The shoes will be handcrafted in the USA, using Goodyear 360-degree welted construction for greater stability while maintaining flexibility. They feature the finest premium leathers and heated cork between the insole and outsole for custom-like orthotic comfort as only Allen Edmonds can do. “Built by hand using the traditional shoe craftsmanship methods, the Honors Collection is for the man who respects style and wants a performance golf shoe to match his game,” says Colin Hall, Chief Marketing Officer of Allen Edmonds. “Our shoes are remarkably different than the sports shoes most companies now offer. The Honors Collection represents a return to classic, elegant shoes that reflect a refined gentleman’s approach to golf.” “Allen Edmonds -- an American-based, leading men’s dress shoe maker -- is experiencing business resurgence, and our new Honors Collection golf shoes exemplify our dedication to outfitting American businessmen who enjoy golf and appreciate style and comfort,” says Hall.

The nap of high pile textiles (mohairs & velvets) may become crushed or lose its original pile height. We recommend light steaming to lift the pile to its original height. The textile should also be brushed with a de-linting brush to maintain its pile. Water based or solvent cleaner may cause discoloration or staining. We recommend that stained or soiled textiles be professionally cleaned. LEATHERS Leather is a soft porous material that is sometimes uncoated. It can easily absorb liquids and oily substances. Avoid saturating the leather with lotion or water. Care by dusting and lightly vacuuming. Keep leathers away from direct sunlight and heating vents. Leathers are a natural, “living” material that breathe and move as they wear. We recommend that stained or soiled leathers be professionally cleaned. VELLUM Vellum is a natural parchment produced from calfskin, lambskin, or kidskin. As it is a skin, there are naturally occurring variations in pattern, color, and texture, which may be noticeable in side by side panels. A clear coat of sealant is added to protect the vellum. Care for vellum by wiping gently with a damp to dry soft cloth, making sure that the skin is completely dried. Keeping vellum away from direct sunlight and heating vents.

  • Shoe Constructions
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE DANIEL C. ROPER, Secretary NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS LYMAN J. BRIGGS, Director CIRCULAR OF THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS C419 SHOE CONSTRUCTIONS By Roy C. Bowker eau of Standardt, APR 1 1938 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1938 For sale by tlie Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 10 cents PREFACE Shoes are an important item in the budget of every family. Much general information is available concerning shoes and a multiplicity of types can be purchased over a wide price range. However, methods for use in evaluating the quality and performance of shoes are lacking. Research work on shoes is being conducted at the National Bureau of Standards for the purpose of developing quality and performance standards in terms of value to the individual consumer. A part of the problem has to do with the influence of the type of construction on the ability of the shoe to hold its shape under simulated service conditions. This circular presents the results of a study of the different methods of construction in common use. A review of the literature issued by the trade organizations has shown that there are at least 40 types of shoe construction, each of which is described briefly in this circular and listed under 8 main classes. Comments on the performance of shoes and the value to the con¬ sumer of construction identification marks on shoes are included. Lyman J. Briggs, Director. ir SHOE CONSTRUCTIONS By Roy C. Bowker ABSTRACT This circular contains brief descriptions of 40 individual shoe constructions and discusses their classification under 8 main classes; welt, McKay, Littleway, turn, stitchdown, nailed, cemented, and moccasin.
