Big Sur - Wingtip Lace-up Oxford Men's Casual Shoes by Allen Edmonds

Apologies to Jack Kerouac aside, words alone cannot describe the stunning weathered and surf-beaten rocks and cliffs that make up Big Sur's spectacular scenery. For that reason we tried to capture the area's splendor in a shoe, but at first we didn't even think that would be possible either. Then we found this incredibly special waxy reversed leather and suddenly knew we had found the perfect material to capture the area's raw beauty. The material's natural luster and differing textures not only recall the rugged coastline but they also will fit in perfectly in the laid-back towns you'll find along the coast and in the mountains. Crafted as a five-eyelet blucher to insure a snug fit, the Toby min-lug rubber sole has the grip and fortitude to deal with tough terrain, be it a cement sidewalk or a craggy cliff top. We've offset the shoe's rough-around-the-edges look with a leather lined foam insole for cushioning and a perf wingtip design that belongs in any cool urban environment, from a club to a pub, and you can take our word on that.

Big Sur Dark Brown Waxy Reversed Leather 3.1 5 27 27
Good shoe. Why do others not think so? Very odd. This is a well fitting shoe. I've had it on all day at work as an MD and feel fine. The look is not as "rough" as I had hoped but I think they will be funkier with time and less wearable to the office. In any event, I really like these and I am sorry that AE no longer plans to have them. They are bluchers and we need more of these! Did you catch that: WE NEED MORE BLUCHERS! Get a pair while you can if these suit you. June 6, 2013
Don't believe the complaints about these never breaking in. Maybe some people expect these to feel like running shoes because they have a rubber sole. It's a rubber sole CAP, kind of like a hiking boot, but a lot thinner. I wore them for hours walking around Santa Fe (not an easy walking town) on the first day. For reference, the 8-108 is the perfect last for my foot; this is a little shorter and wider than shoes on that last. May 30, 2013
Excellent shoe at an excellent price This is my fifth pair of AEs and they are exactly what I have come to expect in fit, finish and comfort. It is odd that so many people have had trouble, but for me they were perfect within the first morning I wore them; broken in and very comfortable. I have worn them on long days (6a-10p) with no discomfort. Viva la clearance... May 19, 2013
Perfect pair of casual shoes Just what I was looking for to go with jeans. Fits very similar to several other Allen Edmond shoes. Will take a bit longer to break in, but all in all just what I expected. Very happy with these shoes and would recommend due to their quality and style. Nice work Allen Edmonds! May 10, 2013

I know the description says to use Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner to maintain the leather - however - using that product makes the shoe very dark and flattens the leather fibers. I know, because I've tried it on a small spot on the shoe. It is a good thing otherwise this question may have turned into a complaint.

I am hoping someone can enlighten me on the right product to use to maintain the leather. Thanks.

Answer: 
Do as little as possibe. Wipe off any dirt. Apply a lotion to keep the leather soft if you care to do so or let them age in the rough sort of way.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

When caring for your Big Sur style, we recommend using our Spray Waterproofer for Suede, Nubuck, and Fabric Shoes by Allen Edmonds which is a specifically formulated non-silicone aerosol spray which provides a layer of protection against dirt and water on suede, fabric, and nubuck shoe styles. Before using, make sure surface area is clean and dry. Spray evenly from a distance of 6 – 8 inches, and allow to air dry before wear.

Keep in mind, Allen Edmonds Spray Waterproofer will not alter color, but it may darken the fabric initially while damp.

We also recommend trying our Suede Combo Brush which maintains the leather and may be used for finer detailing.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.

Thank you for your interest.

Although all Allen Edmonds shoes are treated with our finishing process before leaving our factory, they are not specifically pre-treated against water damage.

Calfskin and cordovan styles are susceptible to water damage as they are made from leather which is a natural material. To provide an added layer of protection against dirt and water, we offer waterproof premium Swims Overshoes which allow you to wear your favorite shoes regardless of weather conditions. For suede, nubuck, and fabrics, like the Big Sur, we recommend using our Spray Waterproofer for Suede, Nubuck, and Fabric Shoes by Allen Edmonds to provide a layer of protection against dirt and water.

1) How do I care for this product? Is there a pre-treatment to keep the leather soft/clean?
2) I know this is described as reverse leather - I interpret this as suede. If so, do I care for the shoe as I would a suede shoe?

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry.

You will only want to use the spray waterproofer on this shoe. It will not waterproof the shoe, but it will help to repel water and dirt.

Please feel free to contact us with any further questions.
