Allen Edmonds Chandler
Allen Edmonds / Antique HickoryI have a conundrum. I think that these boots look great. For some reason the toebox of the right boot is painful for my foot. It’s creating a blister/callous on the top of one of my toes. I have had to to cut back on wearing these somewhat. They do seem to be getting more comfortable but I’m really not certain how this is going to work for my toe. I have other boots from Allen Edmonds made with the same last that have never been a problem, so this was completely unexpected. Unfortunately I probably won’t know how well these are going to work until I wear them for a while longer.

Why did you choose this item?
I chose the Allen Edmonds Chandler because I liked the chukka style and I had good experiences with their other boots built using the same 1757 last.
How did you determine your size?
I have previous experience with my sizing with boots made using this same last, so I bought my usual size. The size is consistent with my Brannock measurements.
What was the ordering process?
This was an easy boot to purchase. It was in-stock and available online. I believe that there was also a sale at the time, so they were a great value. They were shipped quickly and arrived at my home in just a few days.
