    Care Instructions

    Cordovan leather requires different care than calfskin due to its unique properties. Brush and wipe regularly and apply cream occasionally to protect the leather and maintain its rich color.

    Regular Maintenance:

    Regularly, brush the leather with our Horsehair Shine Brush or wipe with our Cotton Flannel Polishing Cloth.

    To Protect and Restore Color, Follow These Steps:

    STEP 1: Wipe your shoe down with a damp cloth and allow to dry.

    STEP 2: Using your Horsehair Dauber, apply a small amount of Cordovan cream in a circular motion.

    STEP 3: While the cream is still slightly wet, take our Horsehair Shine Brush and brush back and forth, heating the cream and leather. This allows the natural oils to move to the surface to bring out the leather's natural shine.

    STEP 4: Next, use the soft side of our Cotton Flannel Polishing Cloth to buff the shoe until the surface is no longer tacky. Often, some excess cream will transfer onto the cloth, which is normal.

    STEP 5: Take our Heel Dressing applicator and press against the edge of the heel and sole.

    Grayson Shell Cordovan Dress Loafer is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 396.
    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Flimsy tassels, disappointing Subpar quality to say the least. The tassels are flimsy and not as shown in the photo. They make the entire shoe look cheap. The quality of Allen Edmonds shoes has gone significantly down. This will be my last pair of Allen Edmonds shoes. If you want high quality tassel loafers look elsewhere.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chili color- Nice looking quality shoe I purchased them off the website with no discounts or sale. I have a pair of Park Avenue in this same size but this shoe's fit was a little big, maybe because it is a slip-on. It appears to be crafted well and there were no problems with the shoe. As for the insole, it does not appear to have enough arch support for me. The new policy of only providing 1 over sized shoe bag for both shoes is not adequate to protect the shoes from scarring each other. I will and have recommended this company.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Catching up on review This was my first pair of AE, now 7 pairs and counting. They have been worn but looking great. The leather is still soft pliable and flawless, try that on a off the rack retail shoe. I use black Saphir on them with shoe trees. I don't wear them as much due to not dressing up, current situation in mind. They are not, to me, a casual jeans shoe. But what a great addition when needed.

    Availability

    I'd be interested in these shoes but when I click my size it says there's still a 9 week wait they aren't in stock?
    Asked by: Randall
    Horween's Shell Cordovan is such an exceptional and rare material that these styles are manufactured in very limited quantities. Unfortunately, it takes 8-9 weeks to make a pair of cordovan shoes.

    How will this fit compared to non- cordovan Grayson?

    I have been wearing Grayson's for well over 20 years. I have 5 pair in rotation now. I have a true EEE foot with a high instep and no ankles ( cankles, I believe they are called). My last pair was purchased about two or three years ago, and the left shoe seriously chafed my ankle at the back, although I purchased the same size I have been wearing all this time. I ultimately had to have the shoe stretched to make it wearable. I don't want to have the same issue with a $600 pair of shoes. Will the sizing be affected by cordovan? I am on the edge over this. I do love my Grayson's.
    Asked by: Tom in New Hampshah
    All Grayson styles are true-to-size as they are designed based on the sizing standards of the Brannock Device. With that said, the materials used may affect the way a shoe feels, but that depends a lot on your personal preferences or sensitivity. We suggest trying the shoes on carpet before wearing them to ensure a proper and comfortable fit. Trying shoes on carpet will keep them in returnable condition.

    What is a 'Combination Tap Sole' versus a Regular AE Sole?

    Asked by: Anonymous

    Why only EEE width available in size 8 shell cordovan Grayson ?

    Website reloaded so many times today as I was attempting to order a new pair of park ave so had to phone in order. Had decided to purchase a pair of Grayson shell cordovans as I have 2 pair in calf, Black and Tan. Was shocked that only width showing available was EEE, really ? Unbelievable that would be a popular width. Checked back thru my old catalogues to find cordovans used to be available in black and burgundy and in widths for the Grayson. Have approx 8 pair of AEs, tassel loafers, calf oxfords, older pair of wovens and drivers. Seems like selections are more limited now, hope the current owners know what they are doing. Guess I'm forced to find my shell cordovan tassel loafers elsewhere, but I certainly attempted to purchase them from AE...sorry. Hope website gets attended to soon.

    Hello, Thank you for your inquiry! We regret to inform you that the Cordovan Grayson loafers in burgundy are a closeout style. Unfortunately, we have limited sizes available and we will not be receiving any new inventory. -AE Consumer Care Dept.

    I wear a size 11D Wingham. The Cordovan Grayson size 11 is only available in width sizes B and EE. What size is recommended?

    Asked by: WFH
    Each style can fit differently based on the contours of your feet, so it’s difficult to recommend a size virtually and guarantee a proper fit. Typically, we recommend trying the same size you usually wear and judging the fit based on how comfortable you feel in the shoes. If possible, we’d love to have you visit an Allen Edmonds retail store or one of our retail partners for a professional fitting. Our associates are trained to help you find the right fit for the various lasts and styles we offer. Also, keep in mind that products purchased on AllenEdmonds.com may be returned within 90 days, as long as the item is unworn and accompanied by the packing slip (we advise trying the shoes on a carpeted surface to keep them in returnable condition).
