This is a 5 year review of my Allen Edmonds McAllister wingtip Oxfords in Oxblood, and I share why I love these shoes so much. These were the first pair of Allen Edmonds shoes that I purchased new from Allen Edmonds, a little over 5 years ago (I received them in October of 2017). I also replace the rubber protective half soles for the second time in this video. I purchased these shoes on sale in September of 2017 for $245 (new first quality).
