ULTIMATE Dating Allen Edmonds Guide with DATE CODES!

This is my most complete and in-depth video on how to tell the manufacture date of Allen Edmonds Shoes. For AE shoes made between 1972 through 2003/2004 with a 4 digit date code, this video should be able to help you identify the exact manufacture date in most cases. My “How to Date Allen Edmonds Shoes” video released in October of 2018 only discussed the changing AE logos, therefore only helps narrow the manufacture date down to a range of years. For example, Allen Edmonds used some logos for as short 6 years, and some for as long as 24 years.
