The Allen Edmonds James is a formal slip-on loafer in high-shine black patent leather, built for tuxedo and black-tie dressing. The mirror-finish patent upper and a slim, elegant dress last give it the polish those occasions call for, and it slips on without laces for a clean formal line.
It is the shoe for weddings, galas, and black-tie events worn with a tuxedo, and it also sharpens a dark formal suit for evening. The patent leather keeps its shine with minimal care, and the slip-on design is comfortable through a long event.
Allen Edmonds has handcrafted shoes in Port Washington, Wisconsin since 1922, known for formal and dress footwear built from fine leathers to a lasting, resoleable standard.
