Strandmok Cap Toe Oxford

I have owned many pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes and love the brand. However, my experience with the Strandmok Cap Toe Oxford style from Nordstrom Rack has been disappointing. The first pair I purchased had a blemish on the right shoe, resembling a bald spot. When I called the online support, I was informed that there is no exchange policy and that I must purchase a new pair and return the defective one, for which I have not received a return label yet. A second pair arrived early, but the left shoe's color did not match the right; it was slightly darker. Overall, the quality of these shoes has been subpar, and I now have two pairs to return.

Right shoe - inside sole is offset. Left shoe - has a blemish that looks like a bald spot, see pics.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes carry the high quality-bar expected of all Allen Edmonds shoes. The green colorway is really nice visually and the rubber sole offers great traction while walking. Unlike some other Allen Edmonds offerings which run large, these run true-to-size! Be sure not to size down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice quality shoe. The danite sole is comfotable to walk on and the suede quality is top-notch. Only complaint is that it does not fit the same as other 65 last shoes - it is probably 1/2 to 1 full size larger than a Park Avenue of the same size. I need to use a tongue pad with thick socks with this one. I did not have a chance to try it on in-store as I purchased online during a sale, and a 1/2 size down was not available for an exchange.

I love the dainite sole. I have shoes from 8 years ago, and the sole is still in perfect condition.

Excellent and beautiful looking shoe, and very versatile, from jeans to business casual. Mine was a little larger than usual for this size.
