Default Going crazy,I need new dress shoes,wing tips. Size 16 eee

I've been searching net for wing tip dress shoes. My size is 16 wide. I cannot find my size anywhere that I've looked. I have a new pair of slip on dress shoes but not wing tips- ties. I've seen some over seas ads in the $300-$500 range but not wing tips. Any one have source? Thanks.

Try Allen-Edmonds. I took a quick look at their website and found one pair of wingtips in size 16E, they may have others too. There's a store locator on their website, it looks like the closest one to you is in Cleveland. https://www.allenedmonds.com

Allen-Edmonds shoes are expensive but they're built to last in Wisconsin - it's a case of cry once, buy once. I think my pair is 30+ years old, I'll probably be buried in them.

Their site is a little slow changing from one page to another but it worked for me. It turns out they have over 40 different wingtip shoes, from dress to boot to even a sneaker. This is a direct link to one of the dress wingtip styles, see if it works for you: https://www.allenedmonds.com/product...rown-ec4001605

Allen Edmonds has been the de facto shoe of US presidents for decades.

I wore my new shoes to a Christmas party Saturday night comfortable. A little slippery till the leather gets worn in. I'm satisfied.

Good deal.
Mine have slippery soles, too. I wore them to a funeral this summer, and had to be careful when driving there as my foot kept slipping off the clutch pedal.
