We use the same soles for Long Branch styles, but it may appear that the soles are different thicknesses due to the color of the welt or the way the picture was taken. The Golden Brown version has a dark brown welt, and the Dark Brown has a lighter color welt.

Yes, that's the Long Branch style, thank you for your question! It's the Golden Brown Chromexcel leather, but they may look darker due to the creative lighting and adjustments used by the photographer.

Horween’s Chromexcel leather is heavily oiled during the tanning process which consequently provides good water resistance. However, while Chromexcel leather will tolerate splashes of water, keep in mind that the boot is not consider to be waterproof and it is still susceptible to water or salt damage like any other fine leather shoe. For added protection, we suggest using SWIMS overshoes if you expect inclement weather conditions.

The Long Branch is considered an above-the-ankle boot style. Shoe and heel height will vary depending on the size and width of a shoe; however, these variations will be fairly insignificant.

For the Long Branch in a size 9 D, the shoe height from the bottom of the sole to the top of the upper will measure to be around 7-3/4 inches tall.

The Long Branch style features a rubber sole which is built to handle a number of climates, landscapes, and weather conditions. However, keep in mind that the upper is made of fine leather which is a natural material and so it is not considered to be waterproof.

Our shoes are indented for use for style and comfort in relatively controlled environments. To provide an added layer of protection against dirt, snow, or water, we offer waterproof premium Swims Mobster Overshoes which allow you to wear your favorite boots regardless of weather conditions.

All Allen Edmonds shoes are susceptible to water and salt damage as they are made from fine leather which is a natural material; as such, we advise proper care if expecting snowy or wet conditions.

We cannot speak to other brands of care products because we are not familiar with their ingredients and how they may affect our fine leathers. Many other care products contain an alcohol or petroleum base, which will dry out the leather and make it brittle over time – even with regular conditioning. We recommend using our shoe care products which we are specifically formulated for our fine leather footwear.

The Long Branch and the Ashbury are constructed on different lasts so each style will fit differently based on individual foot shape. The Long Branch Wingtip Boot is built on our 511 Last which is fit for the average foot from heel to ball of foot, and it has a rounded, roomier toe. The Ashbury boot is constructed on the 222 last which has an elongated toe with a slightly higher instep and a more narrow fit in the forefoot creating a sleek silhouette and rounded European look.

The best way to get a proper fit is to visit a master fitter in one of our retail stores or retail partners in Canada. 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.

At this time, there are no immediate plans to offer the Long Branch style in other leathers other that what is currently available online. However, this style is eligible to be ordered through our special make up program. We encourage you to contact our customer assistance center directly to find more about creating your own custom shoes. They can be reached at cacmail@allenedmonds.com or 1-800-235-2348 (Mon-Fri 7:00AM-6PM CST); they can determine if your specific request can be accomplished based on current availability of shoe materials and components.

The Long Branch style is handcrafted using traditional leather foot bed, in which we apply a layer of shock-absorbent cork between the insole and the outsole of our shoes which allows the sole to form an imprint in the cork over time. We do not build an excessive amount of arch support in our shoes because the cork layer acts as a comfortable cradle for your whole foot and the resulting imprint is totally unique to your foot shape and is part of the reason our shoes are so comfortable. In addition to the cork layer, this style also features a heel with comfort foam insole for added comfort.

If you wear custom orthotics, we suggest visiting a master fitter at one of our retail stores so they can help you find the proper size, as inserting an orthotic will affect how a shoe fits.
