The Original (Chestnut)

Best wedding and everyday shoes

I bought these shoes for my wedding. They were absolutely amazing and kept my feet comfortable for the long day. I still wear these almost 9 months later as my every Sunday church shoes and they are just as comfortable as the day i bought. The break in time was super minimal and easy.

Still breaking in the shoes. Even considering that, they are comfortable, easy to walk in, and good looking.Only time will tell, but they seem to be made of sturdy leather. I have grown accustomed to Allen Edmonds shoes and have a couple of pairs well over 20 years old. I aim to include these in the same category!

Even better with aftermarket inserts

I'm retired and ordered a pair of size 11 Original (Chestnut) Amberjacks because my back hurt whenever I went to an event and wore the shoes that I used to wear to work. The original Amberjack shoe inserts were ok, but didn't have quite as much padding as I wanted so I removed them and replaced them with a pair of aftermarket CUR REX Runpro inserts like I use for running. (I used size XL CUR REX inserts and cut them down to size using the original size 11 Amberjack inserts as a template.) Now my Amberjacks feel almost as comfortable as my running shoes but sure look a lot better with my navy blazer and gray pants. I just ordered another pair of Amberjacks in black for more formal occasions and plan to add the same inserts to them also. I was between sizes, but was glad that I went to the larger size because the running shoe inserts took up additional room.
