117 about 11 AM went to the Port Washington store. Wisconsin tried to return a belt a purchase from a store and Brookfield mind you it was only an exchange of belts for size purposes. The clerk that helped me was very rude. She asked me questions about where was I from and she also stated that I have to buy a more expensive belt .all I wanted to do was exchange for a different size so she claim might have to spend $160 in order to get a different belt and she claimed the belt I bought was on sale so she was not obligated to make an exchange for the belt size. I needed it because the belt she claimed was not in the store she never looked at the shelf to see if the belt was in the store. She never let me look to see if I can find the same belt to exchange so I felt pretty bad about the situation. I felt like I was racially discriminated against because I’m a black man. I’m very unhappy and I will never shop at that...

I sold shoes at what was called the world's largest shoe store at the time (150 sales people on the floor at one time on Saturdays.)
My experience with shoes quickly pulled me into being an unabashed, full-on Allen Edmonds fan boy.
The quality and fit are the best in the world. And with Allen Edmonds' re-crafting program, they are an excellent value. I wear a pair of AE shoes that I bought 20 years ago at least three times per month due to re-crafting.
Do yourself a favor, buy a pair of Allen Edmonds and fall in love with the best shoes that you will ever wear.

Read moreI called the Store to check on availability, and a Gentleman by the name of Alex answered my call. This was the beginning of an outstanding Customer Service experience. He instantly welcomed my interest, and concerns, and treated me like a true AE enthusiast. I do own over twenty pairs of AE shoes, however, that has never seemed to matter, when speaking with any other Staff members, in other stores. Kudos to Alex and his product knowledge, i.e. colors, sizing, inventories, and a passion for the Customer’s total satisfaction. My backround includes over fifty years of being involved in both Sales and the Hospitality business, and I can recognize a talented Professional vs. a “Typical” clerk very easily. Thank you again Alex, and I’ll be calling you from this point on, to assist me with all my Allen...
