Allen Edmonds for large or wide feet
I recently bought a pair of the Montecito penny loafer from Allen Edmonds. I have pretty wide feet, particularly at the top of the foot (due to bunions on my big toe), so i ordered the wide size (E), which accommodates my foot in other brands like Cole Haan and Johnston & Murphy.
However, with Allen Edmonds, their "wide" size seems to apply only to the body of the shoe (the part from the base of the toes to the heel), and not to the front (where i need the extra width). So not only is the front way too tight, but also the body of the shoe fans out a bit around the opening, where the extra width is. Normally i would try to break them in, but they fit my foot so poorly that i'm not going to hold out hope.
Anyone else with wide feet and/or bunions encounter this problem with Allen Edmonds? Am i going to have to avoid AE and stick to Cole Haan/J&M?
Thanks guys
Sounds like the last/size just doesn't work for your foot. Allen edmonds come in many different lasts (see link), just have to find one that suits your feet. Can't speak to cole haans but I've found my aes to be significantly more comfortable and durable than j&m.

I believe the front of the shoe is supposed to fit pretty tight/snug. I am double EE btw, not sure if AE carries those
i have wide feet but the E width fit me fine AE carries up to EEE not sure what to do about ur big toe tho sry
Have you tried "Alden" shoes?
I'm a size 15 and own Montecito's as well. They're definitely more narrow than other AE's that I own. Try ordering AE loafers with a different last (fit) for your foot.
