Wisconsin-based shoemaker Allen Edmonds knows this—the brand has for over 100 years—and its American-made dress shoes are some of the best on the market.

The Fifth Avenue Oxfords are a lace-up balmoral dress shoe with brogue detailing throughout. They're made of a single layer of vegetable-tanned European leather held together with a bench welt around the entirety of the shoe. The interior is lined with leather and features a proprietary insole designed to mold to the shape of your foot for long-term comfort.
One shopper wrote that they “highly recommend” these “phenomenal” shoes. “The fit, even though handcrafted, is consistent with all the other shoes I've bought at Allen Edmonds,” a sign of just how good the company’s U.S.-based manufacturing is. They added that these shoes are “definitely a go-to pair for work and a nice evening out.”
