Allen Edmonds 'Parkway' OxfordIf you are looking to up your style, this is a great choice - especially at this clearance price. The best part of this shoe is the slightly elongated euro-styling, especially for a tall lanky guy like me. It complements my European fit suits nicely. I have this shoe it granite grey, and when I saw it go on clearance/closeout, I picked up a pair in burnished brown. If you only wear black and cordovan lace-ups, move on. But, if your business dress allows you a little more style latitude, this shoe is for you. I wear a true E, and I find this shoe to be slightly wider than typical, but it still fits well. Because you only have 3 eyelets, you can not lace as tight as with a 5 or 6 eyelet shoe. Initially, it would loosen throughout the day and I would find myself retying every 2-3 hours. However, I solved this problem by lacing tight and doubling up the bow - this keeps the shoe snug and well-fitting all day. I like the shape/look of this shoe so much, I am considering splurging on a pair of Harrisons from the same last., "I am between sizes at 13.5 with normal width foot. I ordered these in a 13D and the length is great. Toe box feels perfect. I do not own a pair of Park Avenue so I can't say how they compare. Very happy with this purchase."
