If AE were smart, they'd do a limited release of these shoes timed along with this video.

I enjoy watching your work very relaxing, I just purchased my first pair of black wingtips still learning about them

Very nice of AE to gift you a pair of blue strands. You really deserve it Preston.

This video reignited my desire for a pair of navy Strands, or similar style. It's the one gap in my shoe collection.

Those are gorgeous !!! I too am a huge Allen Edmonds fan. It's soooo nice to be able to get a quality shoe in a 15D !! Strands always catch my eye, love a Strand Weave too (have one pair in black). A big fan of the Hamilton boot (two pairs), and it's Oxfords all the way for me. Yep, six eyelets do it for me too, no "cross" lacing to try to hide with an even number of eyelets. I've fallen in love with the fit I get with the 201 last shoes... they fit my hooves like a glove... the one for the Strand (65?) is a close second in fit.

Bellissimo! I’m happy for you Preston. Wear them with style & pride, they are beautiful!

Wow 🤩 Congrats on getting these shoes. Navy has always been my favorite color to wear but now these are my favorite shoes! Thanks for sharing!

Preston, thanks for sharing, those Navy Blue strand are beautiful.
I just found about these shoes today and now I’m doing research and found them new and pre owned. I don’t know why but I was really drawn to these Navy Blue shoes, they are very unique and awesome looking.

I really enjoy the quality of your videos.

[arijon]

I've watched this video three times because these shoes are so beautiful. I'd pay retail in a heartbeat for a pair of these. Absolutely stunning.

[Poita]

These are the most beautiful shoes I've ever seen on your channel. I can't imagine how they look in real life, as lighting etc may not do it justice. Happy you finally got your pair.

[mickosullivan]

These are awesome shoes, hoping I can get a pair when the trunk show comes around, THANKS for taking the time to do your video's, I ENJOY ALL of them !

[Comrade]

Well deserved. Absolutely stunning!! Congratulations.

[michaelmaggi]

One of the best looking pair of oxfords I've seen. Congrats. Wear them in good health!

[ladyeclectic]

My blue AE Neumoks are my absolute favorite dress shoes. I also have a pair of Navy waxed-flesh Wesco boots. I have this thing for blue shoes, they just make me happy. If I could somehow get a Dalton or 5th Street in the blue Shell I’d jump on that so fast!!!
