Allen Edmonds, one of the few remaining shoe manufacturing companies in the United States, operates factories in Wisconsin and in Maine. Prices for these handmade shoes range from $175 to $525.

The styles are classic, and men can find a great range of sizes, from 5 to 16, and widths from AAA to EEE. The company also offers upscale accessories: cedar shoe trees and shoe racks, as well as cedar tie hangers and shoe care kits.
