The Allen Edmonds Mens Smith Leather Lace Up Derbies is made in Port Washington, Wisconsin by Allen Edmonds since 1922. Allen Edmonds dress shoes use Goodyear-welted construction — a stitched-not-glued sole attachment that allows the shoe to be recrafted (sole replaced, leather refinished) for decades of continued wear instead of being thrown out when the sole wears through.
Classic American dress shoe construction — leather sole, full leather lining, and last shapes refined over a century. Whether new dress shoes, cedar shoe trees, or shoe polish, every Allen Edmonds product is built to the same standard that has made the brand the heritage choice for American men’s footwear since 1922.
Allen Edmonds has been making Goodyear-welted dress shoes in Port Washington, Wisconsin since 1922. Each pair of classic dress shoes (Park Avenue, Smith, Strand, McAllister) is hand-assembled in their Wisconsin factory and built to be recrafted — sole-replaced and refinished — for decades of wear. Cedar Woodlore shoe trees and Speed Polish are also USA-made.
