Showing his range and versatility, Minneapolis architect James Dayton, whose firm did the MacPhail Center for Music in Minneapolis, pictured, also has designed a top-selling men's boot for Allen Edmonds Shoe Corp.

Dayton's "Dalton," a wingtip dress boot, pictured, was introduced in 2011 and has been one of the company's best sellers. Dayton also helped the company design a new prototype store in downtown Minneapolis.

Star Tribune business writer Patrick Kennedy has this story about Dayton's boot and his partnership with Allen Edmonds.
