Allen Edmonds McNeil longwing black shell cordovan 10.5E discontinued

Beautiful, supple black shell cordovan AE McNeil longwing blucher in size 10.5E. Sadly, AE discontinued this classic style recently, thus increasing this shoe’s rarity. Combined with the fact that shell cordovan represents only a small percentage of AE’s production, these are truly quite special. As you can see from photos, they have been resoled by an independent cobbler, but the double soles have plenty of life left. They have no major scuffs, nicks, or tears. I did, however, wish to point out that both shows have very slight issues with the vamp stitching. I attempted to capture this in the photos, but it’s honestly difficult to even notice. I have lovingly shined these religiously with Saphir polish and kept them on cedar shoe trees (which are not included in this sale). If you know about shell cordovan, you know what makes these so desirable.
