00:00 Introduction
As you might know, ownership of Allen Edmonds has changed a few times over the last few decades and some people argue that the quality has deteriorated over time.
By cutting 4 pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes and comparing them side by side, we can really understand what has changed and if that was a change for the better or for the worse.

The obvious outlier here is the Sanibel model; otherwise, things have remained largely consistent across the decades! The other 5 pairs are similar in construction, use the same tags and same nails which we find impressive.
