Overview

Dalton - Wingtip Lace-up Oxford Men's Dress Boots by Allen Edmonds

When we asked Jim Dayton, an award-winning architect and protégé of Frank Gehry, to design our new retail store prototype, we never planned for him to create a shoe for us. But, by using authentic materials in his store design like Wisconsin red birch and touches of the cork that cushions our shoes, he did such a great job capturing our company's personality that we asked him to bring the same aesthetic sensibilities to a pair of shoes. And we're sure glad we did. In creating this seven-eyelet blucher boot, Dayton used his architect's sharp-eye to perfectly balance the silhouette of the rounded, full toe with the extended calf-high upper. Similarly, the orange leather lining, toe medallion and perforations on the back-stay and wingtip combine to accentuate the boot's heartier features, like the Butyl leather sole, and create a blueprint for both elegance and strength. Tucked under blue jeans or a blue suit, they present a stylish profile while providing the type of ankle stability and support not usually found in a dress shoe. A truly original boot made by a one-of-a-kind artisan, the Dalton is the perfect foundation on which to build a great outfit.

Dalton Wingtip Dress Boots 4.6 5 78 78
Beautiful shoes, still haven't broken in. These boots are gorgeous. Sizing was difficult--nothing in the store in my usual range felt immediately right--but the shoes were a gift so I kept trying until something worked. Now, after a few months they are very comfortable. My one complaint is that they still squeak like crazy and it is driving me crazy. The leather on the tongue rubs up against main part of the shoe and unless I lace them very loose, the squeaking is very obvious and, frankly, not great for the office. Still gets a "good" rating because they're so good-looking. May 19, 2013
Beware of Long Break In Process First off, the walnut calf is a beautiful color. I read previous reviews about the long break in process, so I was prepared. I was told that once the cork layer and leather upper mold to your foot the shoe will be more comfortable. However, after 5 months of wear the cork insole is still uncomfortable the upper is still rubbing my big toe. It could just be that this last does not work for my foot as I didnt have any of these problems with my other AE shoes. May 9, 2013
Great shoes, careful of leather stretch & online sizing! I found these wonderful shoes after a long long pilgrimage of online forums, reviews and visiting various stores in Melbourne. I was nervous to spend so much, but I really wanted a dress boot that could become a staple of my fashion, would last a long time and suit all occasions. Reviews and photos indicated this was the boot! I painstakingly measured my foot against the online sizing guide - my right foot was just on 11.5 and my left just under, so I ordered a size 12E, since I also wear orthotics. When the boots arrived, they fit quite well out of the box and I received some compliments on the first day of wearing them, which I was very pleased about. For the first few wears, they were quite sore, particularly the left, as the leather was breaking in. However, after about 4 wears, they magically became very comfortable and I could really start to appreciate the quality of the shoe and I was very happy with my purchase. Overall, this is an almost perfect shoe and lives up to its high expectations. However, I have worn them on about 10 occasions now and I find the leather is still stretching quite a bit, to the point where there are creases forming around the back of the shoe, which I am worried will cause damage to the shoe after a much shorter period than I had hoped to care for these shoes for. This can be seen in the attached image. So, I have some slight buyer's remorse that I didn't go for a size smaller (size 11) given the amount of stretch! I couldnt find any AE shoes in Melbourne to try on before purchasing, so my advice for other shoppers is to definitely do whatever you can to try a pair on before ordering online, even better if it is a display model that has been worn a few times to reflect the amount of stretch. Overall, still an awesome boot, though I'm not sure if the other AE shoes (non-boots) would stretch the same. If I can get my sizing right, I'll definitely be investing in more AE shoes in future. Michael April 25, 2013
Excellent, my favorite dress shoe I got my Daltons, which are also my first pair of Allen Edmunds footwear, as a Christmas present. They fit more like a pair of boots than a pair of shoes, but that's exactly what I was looking for. They're a bit narrow, but nothing that shouldn't work out after breaking them in more. Overall I'm quite happy and will definitely buy other products from AE. April 10, 2013

Is the Dalton offered in the 5th Avenue Style?

Customer avatar

In addition I weigh 260 lbs (I am 6ft 2inches) and I find a shoe with a steel shank is very helpful. You state none of your shoes are made with a steel shank will you raise the heel by 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch for the boot? The stacked heel helps with my high arches. This may pose other problems in the structure of the shoe of which I am ignorant.

I have worn your shoes for a over 20 years and I enjoy them very much. When I wear them I usually receive complements on the shoes.

I particularly like the 5th Avenue style; very classy.

Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

At this time, the Dalton cannot currently be ordered through our special makeup program and is limited to the style and colors currently available online. While none of our shoes are manufactured with any sort of steel shank inside the footwear, all of our boot styles offer a great deal of support, including arch support.

I have 2E wide feet. But Allen Edmonds only offers E or EEE. Is EEE too big for a EE foot? Should I just get a E size and hope that it stretches over time.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The Cordovan Dalton Dress Boots are manufactured on our 1-Last (511) which is similar to our 7-Last from heel to ball in that it is the best fit for the average foot, but features a more rounded, fuller fitting toe. By selecting shoes manufactured on the same last that most resembles the contours of one’s feet, customers will achieve a superior fit.

Typically the same size and last can be ordered in all of our shoes. However, each style can fit differently based on individual foot shape. The best way to get a proper fit is to visit a master fitter in one of our retail stores. If this is not possible, keep in mind that products purchased on allenedmonds.com may be returned at any time, as long as the item is unused and accompanied by the packing slip. Trying the shoes on a carpeted surface will help prevent scuffing on the sole and keep the shoe in returnable condition.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

We suggest our Wide Basic Dress belt in Dark Brown Burnished Calf or our Manistee belt in Brown Calf to correspond with the Dalton boot in Dark Chocolate Calf.

Though the two may not be an exact match to your Dalton style, the burnishing of the leathers will complement each other nicely.

my left foot has been amputated to the point that when in a shoe the foot ends prior to the normal bend of the shoe in the toe. I am looking for a shoe that provides support to ensure forward motion with as lettle 'hitch in my getiup' as possible. My doctor would prefer a high top boot/shoe versus a regular shoe. I noticed the Rockport Margin has a steel shank and I am considering it, but would prefer Allen Edmonds shoes....

I don't think there is a steel shank, but the sole has two layers of leather, making it considerably stiffer than a regular sole. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

Both the Full-toe and Combination Cedar Shoe Trees will fit your any of your Allen Edmonds styles. While our Full-toe Cedar Shoe Trees continue to be the more popular style among customers, the Combination Shoe Tree features an overhang heel and an expandable split-toe also making this a highly functional shoe tree. The main purpose of shoe trees is to deodorize and maintain the shape of your shoes; either option will work well.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The Dalton features our Butyl Double Leather Sole, which is Butyl soaked, resulting in a high resiliency to water. Butyl is actually a chemical in which some rubbers are derived; butyl rubber is known for its leak-proof qualities.

However, keep in mind like many of our Allen Edmonds shoes, the Dalton features a calfskin leather upper. Leather is not and cannot be made waterproof as it is a natural material.

We recommend trying our Swims Overshoes, which are a great way to protect your investments and allow you to wear your favorite shoes or boots regardless of weather conditions. The Swims ‘Mobster Boot’ Overshoes they feature a pull on and pull off loop and are designed to protect the entire upper of your leather boots from snow, salt, and anything else you might come across.

We also offer the ability for an individual to request a rubber sole be put on their shoe as a part of our Recrafting services in place of a leather sole, and vice versa. However, the selection of which leather soles is limited to certain styles.
