After a weekend lounging around, sometimes it is hard to get back into “work mode” on a Monday morning.  Sure, going through our weekday morning routine gets the ball rolling, but occasionally it is not until we are just about done getting ready that we really feel like we are ready to face the week ahead.  For us, and most likely many of you, the last thing that goes on before we head out the door is our pair of shoes for the day, and honestly there is not much better than a well polished pair of cap toes to let everyone know that it is business time.  A timeless pair of cap toes that is sure to last a lifetime is the Park Avenue ($325) by Allen Edmonds.

The Park Avenue has been a best seller for Allen Edmonds for three decades, and, with a look this timeless, we are pretty confident in saying that there won’t be a drop in sales any time soon.  Available in four basic colors (black, dark brown, merlot, and walnut), you should be able to find a pair of Park Avenue’s to match your office attire nicely without much effort.  While all four colors look great, our favorite is the dark brown which is shown above.  If you are looking for something a bit different, Allen Edmonds can customize a pair for you with basically any leather/sole combination in their catalog (prices vary).  Made of high quality calf skin, and featuring full leather linings, these shoes should last forever, and they get more and more comfortable with age.  Even if you do wear them out, have no fear, they are completely recraftable.
