Preston - Slip-on Venetian Moccasin Men's Dress Shoes by Allen Edmonds

We construct our footwear with the best leathers in the world and sometimes we invent a shoe just to show off our superior materials. A great example of this is the Preston, a classic Venetian that is striking in its lack of pretense. Whether crafted in the dark brown saddle leather or the black gentry leather, the clean lines not only allow the natural appearance of the material to take center stage, they also lend these shoes the strong presence needed to be taken seriously. Unlined so that the subtle leather hugs the barefoot, the simplicity of design also highlights the hand-sewn contrast stitching and single oak leather sole, which combine to make these shoes both casual and stylish. Over time the leather will form to your foot which makes the Preston the kind of shoe that gets better the more you wear it, sort of like a leather bomber jacket for your feet.

Treat Your Feet !!! I feel like I'm giving my feet a treat every time I buy a pair Allen Edmonds shoes ! The Preston is not only a stylish shoe, it is extremely comfortable and built to last made of the finest leathers ! I own both flavors. February 16, 2013
Great look, shinny! My pair of Preston's are very nice. The black ones hold a sleek shine to them and rarely need polishing. They fit really well but after wearing them for almost a year, they has started to stretch. Not substantially to where they fall off while walking but just a little bit. They were on sale and worth the buy! February 15, 2013
Well made... ...but maybe a little stiff. The tongue has about 3 layers of leather and I'd hoped it would soften but it hasn't. Also, because of the longer vamp, they're harder to put on without a shoe horn. September 30, 2012
I love these shoes, I have the black and brown These are my first Allen Edmonds and I love them. I waited for a month on the black ones (take longer to break in) and only 2 weeks on the brown before writing the review. I will say, getting the fit right can be tricky. I think I should have went with a 10 and wider on the blacks (I have a 10 1/2 wide). The browns in the same configuration were way too bid. I got them in a 10 reg width. I think the blacks as a 10 reg might have worked too, but would have been pretty tight at first. I think they run true to length and narrow for width, at least the blacks, the browns with the really soft leather will stretch. The black leather is really shinny, and the depth is incredible. The color and richness of the brown plus the contrasting stitching make them awesome for business casual and for wearing with jeans! The blacks are now comfortable since they have gotten broke in and the browns were pretty much out of the box and now are awesome. The salesmen were incredible, patient and ordered me shoes in different sizes not once, but twice to ensure I got the right fit! I had to wait for them to be built but well worth the wait to get that exact fit! Plus, it feels like they were custom made for you. A highly recommend and a new life long Allen Edmond fan, these will be the only dress shoes I buy from now on! November 1, 2012

How does Preston work with a suit?

One of your salesman told me that the Preston is too casual for wearing with a suit. Was he mistaken or should I look for another pair to wear with a suit?

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

As men’s fashion rules change, there is much more flexibility in how men dress and how one pairs their shoes with their slacks. We believe that the dress leather and Single Oak Leather sole manufactured with this pair of shoes can indeed be paired with a full suit, in addition to a variety of other options worn to the office.

Ultimately, what each individual chooses to care for their Allen Edmonds with is their own decision; we encourage customers to purchase and use what they feel most comfortable with.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.

No, all Allen Edmonds shoes feature shankless construction, meaning our shoes do not contain a metal shank like shoes from other brands. One major benefit of this type of construction is that Allen Edmonds shoes can pass through airport metal detectors without setting them off.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The 5-Last (65) is one of our Goodyear Welted styles; it is the longest in length of our lasts and fits best on a long, narrow foot. Meanwhile, the 800 Last is one of our Handsewn styles. This classic Handsewn features a semi-rounded toe and roomier instep and a longer forepart. 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.

For the Preston in Dark Brown Saddle Leather, we recommend using Conditioner Cleaner, Dark Brown Premium Shoe Polish, Neutral Carnauba Wax, and Brown Heel and Sole Edge Dressing; for Black Gentry Leather, use Conditioner Cleaner, Black Premium Shoe Polish, Black Shoe Cream, Black Carnauba Wax, and Black Heel and Sole Edge Dressing.

Allen Edmonds Shoe Polish is best used for regular polishing and achieving a lustrous glow; our Allen Edmonds Shoe Cream, which is used for darker colors like Blacks and Browns rather than Walnuts, is formulated to renew the color of your calfskin shoes; Carnauba Wax is known for imparting a richer glow to fine leathers. The choice between Shoe Cream, Shoe Polish, and Carnauba Wax really comes down to individual preference on how shiny or rich in color you want your Allen Edmonds shoes to be.
