Allen Edmonds the Heritage Anchor for Upscale Men’s Footwear and Artisanal Craftsmanship Founded in 1922 and currently a standout brand in the Caleres (NYSE CAL) portfolio, Allen Edmonds is the definitive American heritage brand for premium men’s footwear, apparel, and leather accessories. Operating as a high-productivity specialty Anchor Tenant, Allen Edmonds anchors the luxury and contemporary wings of premier Malls, Lifestyle Centers, and high-street urban corridors. The brand is currently executing a "Project 2026" modernization strategy, which includes a total redesign of its in-store experience in partnership with MG2 Architects. This new concept fuses industrial elements—a nod to its Port Washington manufacturing roots—with modern, high-touch "Master Fitter" services and experiential "Recrafting" hubs. With a focus on National Expansion in affluent metropolitan markets, Allen Edmonds targets a quality-conscious male demographic with a high median household income. For landlords and developers, an Allen Edmonds lease provides institutional-grade credit and a loyal, high-spending customer base, making it a cornerstone for sophisticated, service-oriented retail destinations.
