Black Hills - Plain-toe Lace-up Oxford Men's Casual Shoes by Allen Edmonds

America has a long tradition of gentleman explorers, men who are just as comfortable in the urban jungle as they are in the rugged environs of the West. A classic example of this type of personality is President Theodore Roosevelt, who moved effortlessly from world leadership to adventures in the Black Hills and Badlands of the Dakotas. And we're pretty sure he would have been right at home in this five-eyelet blucher. By combining a storm welt with a Toby mini lug sole, we've given these shoes a strength of character perfect for a rough-riding outdoorsman looking for a dressier alternative to his trusty work boots. The plain-toe truly brings out the darker aspects of the waxy distressed leather, which means that pairing the Black Hills with jeans or corduroys is a no-brainer, and makes it obvious why we think these shoes are Bully!

Just as the Black Hills' beauty really comes from a mix colors on the weathered landscape, the grey leather of this new fall style is perfectly distressed to create a deep patina that's designed to get better every time you wear them.

Black Hills Grey Leather 3.8 5 49 49
Beautiful For me this shoe fit to perfection with my standard dress shoe size - 11.5D (Medium). Fit and comfort is unmatched. May 1, 2013
Handsome casual shoe I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the grey leather on this shoe, but it has a very nice casual look and goes great with jeans. the rubber sole is useful for walks and feels sturdy. The shoe feels a little narrow across the ball of the foot compared with the other AE shoes I own in the same last (Ridgeway, McTavish). The leather is soft though, and the shoe broke in quickly. Perhaps because it's so soft, it scuffs up a little more quickly than other AE shoes I own. April 26, 2013
Great From Day 1 These have been super comfortable right out of the box. With only a couple weekends of wear I went on a weeklong touring trip abroad and brought these shoes and wore them the entire time. I probably put about 10 miles on them over the week and my feet felt great the whole time. I've only had them about 3 months, nevertheless I've literally put them through the paces and you could hardly tell any wear on them. I couldn't be more happy with these shoes. May 14, 2013
Fits perfectly and no break-in required I own several other pairs of AE shoes made on the 5 last--Strand and McAllister. I bought the same size in Black Hills that I wear in these other shoes (10.5 E). Despite what some of the other reviewers have said, I found that the Black Hills fit exactly the same as the other shoes. Moreover, unlike the other shoes, there was absolutely no break-in period required. They were completely comfortable to wear right out of the box. I also haven't had any of the issues others have noted--the laces remain tied, and I am happy with the leather. The soles are excellent in rain or light snow. Highly recommended. February 16, 2013

Does the black hilkls weigh more tghan the wilbert? Is the rubber sole on the black hills as "sticky" as the wilbert, or is it a harter type of rubber/synthetic material? I have/have had over 20 pairs of AEs in as many years. Can you give me an accurate weight for an 11.5 D. I am now disabled and my mobility is increasingly limited. The wilberts are heavy and the sole gets easily caught on smooth clean surfaces. Is the black hills sole more like a hiking boot than the crepe type sole on the wilbert? I do not have the luxury of having an AE store or purveyor in my vicinity.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

Allen Edmonds shoes generally weigh between 3 and 4 lbs. when shipped. Shoe weight will vary depending on the size and width of a shoe; however, these variations will be fairly insignificant.

Our mini-lug rubber sole, featured on the Black Hills, is great for various climates and landscapes. It’s also a much smoother finish than that of our Othello rubber sole on the Wilbert style. Ultimately, both option offers ideal support and durability; we encourage customers to purchase and wear what they feel most comfortable in.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The Black Hills is manufactured on our 5-Last (65), which is one of our Goodyear Welted styles and the longest in length of our lasts; the 5-Last generally fits best on a long, narrow foot.

The best way to get a proper fit is to visit a master fitter in one of our retail stores, especially if you are a first time buyer of Allen Edmonds shoes. If an Allen Edmonds store is not located near you, 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.

We also recommend contacting our online customer service team at eservice@allenedmonds.com or 1-877-817-7615 (Mon-Fri 7:00AM-8PM CST). They should be able to help you with our online Size & Fit Guide, or better recommend a size for you.

I'm not sure what type of leather this is. When I ordered the shoes on the phone, the saddle soap was recommended, but the shoes seem to have a suede-like finish.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

For the Black Hills in Grey Leather, we recommend using our Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner and our Premium Shoe Polish in Grey. Use Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner to remove any surface area residue and to keep leather soft and pliable. To achieve a fine luster, wipe shoes with a damp cloth and allow them to dry at room temperature. Follow by applying a coat of our Allen Edmonds Premium Shoe Polish with a cloth or horsehair dauber and allow to air dry. Remove excess polish by brushing with a horsehair shine brush and buff to a desired shine.

Saphir Renovateur for the grey leather?

Customer avatar
by
Anonymous
I received my pair of the "2925 Grey Leather" version of this shoe. They're great! Although, I have another question about the leather...

The leather has a suede-like feel to it. I don't think it's actually suede, but it feels awfully close to being suede. Will I damage the leather if I use a regular cleaner/conditioner (e.g., I normally use Saphir Renovateur on my shoes) or a shoe cream on it?

Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

We recommend using our Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner versus the Saphir Renovateur brand of Conditioner Cleaner. Because Saphir Renovateur is a mink-oil based formula, it has a possibility of darkening the leather on your shoes. Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner will help to remove any surface area residue and keep the leather soft and pliable.

We also recommend our Grey Premium Shoe Polish to help restore your shoe’s color.

Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The best way to remove scuffs and surface area residue on your shoes is to use our Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner. Squeeze a small portion of our lotion onto a soft cloth and apply to the scuffed area in circular motion. This will remove the majority of the scuffs, as well as restore the leather’s natural softness and durability.

Availability in C width

Customer avatar
by
Geoff
Philadelphia
Hi,

This shoe is on the 5-65 last, which is the same as the Park Ave, Fifth Ave, Strand and others, but there is no C width available in the size selection. Can this shoe be ordered in C width and if so, is the charge still 50.00 extra?

I can fit a B width fine, but I like having the space just in case I want to wear a thicker sock.

Thanks.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The Black Hills is not offered on the same size chart as the Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and Strand; as a result, this style is only available in widths B, D, E, and EEE. Because it is also not a member of our special makeup program, the Black Hills is limited to sizes and widths currently available online.

I have the Wilber in 10.5. Should I order the Black Hills in the same size?

Customer avatar
by
EMerckx
Vail Valley, CO
I needed a more casual brown shoe than the Ecco shoes I have which are similar in styling to the the Allen Edmunds Granville. I was happy to include the Wilbert in my comparison and bought them in 10.5 which fit my very narrow forefoot and completely unarched foot perfectly. Given that the Black Hills is built on the 5-65 Last, what size would I consider for this shoe?

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The Wilbert is constructed on our 1-Last (511), which is similar to the 7-Last from heel to ball in that it is the best fit for the average fit, but has a more rounded, fuller fitting toe. Meanwhile, the Black Hills is constructed on our 5-Last (65) which is the longest in length of our lasts, and best for a long, narrow foot. 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: 
I am going to purchase these shoes - my local clothing / shoe store has them in stock. I'm glad I got to see them in person since I think they look better in person than the website photo. Also, I found out I needed a 9D instead of the 9.5D I wear in all my other AE shoes. Something about this last that makes the 9D fit me better. The sales person said everybody that has tried on / purchased the Black Hills has gone down a half size.

I have the Wilbert in 9.5D and it fits great. And I'm going with the 9D on the Black Hills. So I would suggest getting the 10 in this shoe.

Just my experience and I wanted to share it with you.
