Allen Edmonds is an American upscale men's shoe company based in Port Washington, Wisconsin.
[6] In 2006, 90% of the shares in the company were bought by Minneapolis-based investment firm Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison for $100 million.
Its assembly lines were replaced with teams of craftsmen, allowing reduced overtime, more ease in covering for absent employees, and fewer manufacturing imperfections.
[11] Shoe uppers for the Allen Edmonds hand-sewn collection are cut and sewn in the Dominican Republic; raw materials are sent from the U.S. for sewing, then shipped to Port Washington, Wisconsin for completion.
[13] Allen Edmonds offers recrafting services to refurbish its shoes, which includes replacing soles and heels; creating a new cork base and strip; and reapplying finish.
