Sir, I've never had a painful callous on my feet until the AGSU low quarters came out. I now teach JROTC and have to wear Class A/B and the issue low quarters for 9-12 hours per day. After a few weeks I developed multiple callous' across the balls of my feet. I went to clothing sales and bought one of each brand of low quarters. No relief and in fact my feet got worse. I went to a podiatrist, and he clearly blamed the shoes and said there is nothing I can do to fix my feet if I wear those shoes. So, I have great interest in the Allen Edmonds low quarters. Have you received any feedback on the shoes yet? I would buy a pair buts I don't want to add to my collection of shoes that make my feet worse. Does the Edmonds company have a POC I could speak eith? Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your experience. After everything you've gone through with the other low quarters, we completely understand your hesitation to invest in another pair!
We have received very positive feedback on our Allen Edmonds Legacy shoes. One of the biggest differences is in the construction. The Legacy has a leather sole and cork footbed, which allows the shoe to gradually mold to the shape of your foot as you wear it.
There is a break-in period, though. We often compare it to a good pair of cowboy boots — they may feel quite structured at first, but as the leather and cork begin to conform to your foot, the fit becomes much more personalized.
We've also learned through fitting customers in our stores that foot shape is just as important as shoe size with the Legacy. Someone's normal low-quarter size isn't necessarily going to be their best Legacy fit, so getting the sizing right from the beginning is important.
Given the foot issues you've experienced, we certainly can't say whether the Legacy will resolve the problems your podiatrist identified, but from a construction standpoint, it is a very different shoe from the standard issue options you've tried.
If you're able to visit one of our retail locations, we highly recommend letting us fit you in person. We'd be happy to take the time to find the best fit for your foot.
