Overview

Some of the best of the best get to walk the hallowed halls of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and we've honored this historic academic town by giving one of our choicest models its name. Everything about this shoe is first-class, starting with its shell Cordovan leather exterior. The finest leather available, this material is not only soft and durable, it's certain to only look better with time. Playing off the richness of the leather, the full brogue style on this six-eyelet balmoral, which includes perfing on the wingtip, upper, eyestay and backstay and a classic medallion on the toe, conveys an air of gravitas in even the most stately of situations. Elegantly executed on the 5-Last, this shoe's Reddenbach double oak leather sole and a combination dovetail toplift add the final stunning touches to the Cambridge, an Allen Edmonds shoe for those that have already made it to the top of their class or are pushing to graduate to the next level.

Product Care

Allen Edmonds Shoe Care

Cordovan leather requires different care than calfskin due to its different properties. To remove any natural oils or residue in areas where the shoe flexes, and to maintain the leather's quality, simply brush the leather with a horsehair shine brush or wipe with a cotton flannel polishing cloth. Polish occasionally with Allen Edmonds Cordovan Care Cream to protect the leather and maintain its rich color.

This shoe style is manufactured with Genuine Horween® Shell Cordovan. Click here to watch a video about the special care that goes into making Shell Cordovan, and learn about the long relationship between Allen Edmonds and Horween.

Further details and videos are available on our Caring for Your Shoes page.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 46 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by The Cream of the Crop I have 9 pairs of AE and all of them are great looking, feeling and great quality! But there is nothing that I have that compares to my 3 pairs of Cambridge's. They are in a class of their own when it comes to comfort and looks. I love the double oaked soles on these, and the fit and finish is fantastic. As the General Manager of a high line car dealership, you have to look your best when meeting clients. With the Cambridge by AE you will never have to worry about the style and class of your shoes. I use to wear nothing but Johnson Murphy shoes, however they fell in quality so badly that a friend recommended Allen Edmonds, and I have never regretted that first purchase, and now I will not wear any other dress shoes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by An excellent shoe that I am proud to wear. I like everything about this shoe. One slightly negative observation: When I opened the box, I thought I was sent the wrong color. The shoes looked black. I realized that they were indeed burgundy only when I examined the tongue of the shoe. With some wear, the burgundy color became more pronounced. I love the shoes. June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by True Classic Beauty These shoes took awhile to receive, but boy was it worth the wait! Got them in burgundy. I can't stop looking down... so beautiful. They fit like a glove. Definitely my new favorite pair of AE shoes. I own 7 pairs. Park avenues, MacNeil's also class shoes. But the Cambridge are the class of the class! February 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 Excelent shoe. Far exceeded my expectations I was hesitant to put down the money for this shoe but long wanted a pair of cordovan leather dress shoes. Having already owned ca. 10 pairs of AEs, I had a certain expectation level. These shoes, however, blew away my expectations. They are sturdy, yet comfortable; have presence, yet are elegant. Based on the build quality, I already told my wife I would like to be buried in these shoes. If you have the spare cash, you will not be disappointed. January 16, 2015

I live in Phoenix, our summers get pretty hot, averaging 110 degrees in the summer afternoons. Will I want to wear a AE Cordovan shoe during the Phoenix summer? Is it a much hotter shoe to wear? I am debating getting a pair of calf skin shoes (Jefferson) vs the Cordovan.

Have you done any studies to see how long calf skins last vs Cordovan, given equal care?

Thanks!

Answer: 
Due to the tightness of the grain in Shell Cordovan, this type of leather does not have the tendency to ‘breath’ the same as a calfskin leather; as a result, the shoes may feel warmer.
From a wear standpoint, when properly cared for, Cordovan shoes should outlast a calfskin primarily due to the oils embedded into the shell during the tanning process which help keep the leather from drying, becoming brittle, or crack over time.

Answer: 
The Cambridge is manufactured on the 65 last which is the longest in length of all of our lasts; best for a long, narrow look; and often the best fit for those with high arches.

I love the quality of Allan Edmonds shoes, and own 4 pairs. I'm shopping for black dress wingtips, and don't understand why the price varies so much for similar-looking shoes.

Answer: 
Well, they have the cemented Dominican models for $175 up to shell cordovan at $700, but most of their dress shoes are $385 with the more casual ones at $275-$325. I believe it is the quality of the leather that accounts for the price difference. I believe they used to make some dress shoes with cheaper corrected grain leather, but not anymore. Even the casual shoes are good leather, just with some imperfections.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

Prices vary based on many factors, including but not limited to design, manufacturing, construction, and type of leather. The main difference between Calfskin styles and Cordovan styles is the source of the leather. The Cambridge is made with Genuine Shell Cordovan which is a rare kind of leather from the hind quarter of a horse, while Calfskin is from a calf. There are a number of benefits from selecting a shoe manufactured in Genuine Shell Cordovan leather; the most important is the durability and longevity of the leather upper. Cordovan is thicker and does not have the tendency to crack or tear as the shoe ages, but actually betters with age and wear.

I find that size 11 EEE is the perfect fit for me in the MacNeil and Lexington style shoes. I like the looks of the Cambridge, however it appears that it is built on a last that favors a narrow foot. Should I try an 11 1/2 EEE? Or should I just forget about the styles built on a narrow last? I also have Leeds and Grayson styles that are 11 EEE, and they fit well too.

Answer: 
Thank you for your interest in Allen Edmonds.

The Macneil and the Grayson are manufactured on our 7-Last (97) which is the best fit for the average foot and lays flatter in the toe area. The Leeds is manufactured on our 1-Last (511) which is similar to the 7-Last from heel to ball of the foot, but with a more rounded, fuller fitting toe. The Cordovan Cambridge is constructed on our 5-Last (65) which is the longest in length of our lasts and fits best on 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 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.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The park Avenue and the Cambridge are both manufactured on the number 5 last. Both shoes will have the same fit so you would take the same size in both shoes.

When you receive the footwear, just make sure that you try the shoes on a carpet surface. Thay way if they do not fit they would be returnable.

By selecting shoes manufactured on the same last that most resembles the contours of one’s feet, customers will achieve a superior fit. The Cambridge and Park Avenue are constructed on the same (5-65) Last, but fit is often a matter of personal preference so trying the shoes on is the best way to differentiate between two similar shaped shoes such as these.

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.
