ALLEN EDMONDS INTRODUCES NEW STYLES FOR FALL One New Collection, plus Additions to Casual, Weekend, and Lines

Port Washington, WI (August 26, 2010)— is introducing a new collection for fall 2010—the Dress Orthotics Collection—plus new styles that enhance existing collections. With the new Dress Orthotics Collection, men can enjoy the comfort of orthotics without sacrificing style.

“Allen Edmonds customers continually ask us to combine particular features with the fashionable styles they expect from their Allen Edmonds ,” notes Colin Hall, chief marketing officer at Allen Edmonds. “We answered their requests this season with the Dress Orthotics Collection.”

Just What the Doctor Ordered The Dress Orthotics Collection, new for fall, combines the very best features of Allen Edmonds classic shoes with convenient removable footbeds. This allows you to insert your own orthotic insoles for a custom fit. And even if you don’t have custom orthotics, the footbeds add a layer of comfort for all-day wear. No longer do you have to sacrifice style for comfort. The Parliament is a six eyelet dress lace-up with flowing perforation detail and is available in black calf and saddle brown calf. The Benton is a classic cap- toe blucher lace-up available in black calf and chili burnished calf. The Larkin is a penny loafer slip-on that is constructed using a 270° welt for a narrower heel. The Ashton, a smooth split toe lace-up and long-time customer favorite from our Casual Collection, also features removable footbeds to accommodate orthotics. These four styles are all equipped with rubber soles for functionality in all weather conditions.

Making a Comeback In response to numerous customer requests, the Walton is being reintroduced to the fall Timeless Classics Collection. The Walton is a smooth split-toe lace-up with a double oak leather sole and a custom heel. The Walton exemplifies American styling that transcends time and trends. It is available in black calf, chili burnished calf, and brown grain calf.

Three new Classic Styles for Fall 2010 The 270° Welt Collection features a more tapered heel for a sleek look. New for this fall is the Sagamore, a classic lace-up featuring a bicycle toe and is available in black calf and brown burnished calf. Another new addition is the Juneau, a traditional suede penny saddle slip-on with a tough mini-lug rubber sole perfect for the fall and winter seasons. And finally the Vernon, a five-eyelet lace-up with a cap toe and perforation details that give it a sleek and contemporary look.
