Florsheim Kenmoor Imperial Wingtip Burgundy (Mens)
Initially I purchased the black Kenmoor Imperial Wingtip in a 9.5 (I float between a 9 amd 9.5 based upon shoe and brand). It was too big and I contacted Dodd's for a seamless exchange to the 9s. They were perfect. So much so, I just ordered the same style in burgundy. These shoes are pricey, but you get what you pay for and I am looking to wear these shoes as my primary business wear for the next several years. They have been very comfortable and classy. Again, Dodd's Costner service as stated in other reviews was excellent.
I've bought lots of Floursheim shoes but none like these. These are built like a tank. I think I could put spikes on them and play any field sport. It is taking time to break them in but I've only worn them for about 3 hours at a time and a total of 3 times. They are probably just about a 1/2 size bigger than what I expected. I've been wearing a size 11 for a long time. I suggest a person measure their size at a store or as recommended by online stores to give yourself a chance. My left shoe slips just a bit. The right one did slip and now it's doing better. So this could be a function of the break-in also. I think this shoe will outlast me. I'm not quite 65. High skills and kudos to the craftsmen/women that make these shoes. I would buy again but now with more confidence. Dodd has done well in shipping. They are a little vague on delivery but well within the stated time of delivery.
I have been wearing Florsheim Kenmoors for ages. As far as I can tell with the new pair nothing has changed, and these are the same great shoes. My only complaint is the laces are a bit too slick for my tastes.
A very nice shoe that plays above its cost. If you want long wingtips your choices are few from Florsheim to Alden with Allen Edmonds in the middle. Because of the lower price point and comments as to manufacture in India I gave these close scrutiny. Are they perfect, no but they don't cost $600 plus. If you like them order from Dodds and wear and enjoy them.
