This year marks the company's celebration of 90 years as an American-made shoe manufacturer.  While most companies have off-shored their entire production, Allen Edmonds has stayed committed to Wisconsin and the shores of Lake Michigan creating over 200 jobs here in the U.S. The company just opened its 40^th U.S. retail location in Atlanta, Ga.

"This event is about two things," said Paul Grangaard, President and CEO at Allen Edmonds. "Thanking our loyal customers and friends for driving our recent business success, and celebrating 90 years of Made in USA quality and craftsmanship. We have a lot to be thankful for."

The 13 styles will be offered at 20 – 30 percent off and will include classic best-sellers, new styles, boots, lace-ups, slip-ons, leather soles and rubber soled styles.  In addition, all Allen Edmonds branded shoes, belts, cedar products and accessories will be 14.92 percent off in honor of Columbus Day.
