    The Official Alden Thread for 2017 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    Anyone have any strong opinions on which would be the better casual boot makeup between a snuff Indy on commando versus a snuff wingtip boot (Barrie) also on commando? I suppose it's personal preference, but I'm curious what others might think. Thanks in advance...

    The first pair of "rare/exotic" shell I saw in person was at Sherman Bros in Philly; ravello LHS, about 4 years ago.

     I could certainly be wrong, but they look exactly like the BB, Peal & Co. shell cordovan boots I saw a few days ago. I could swear they fit identically to my 325 lasted RL-Marlow Wingtips.

    I have the RL-Marlow wingtip in 10D. Fit is okay but a little snug in the toe box.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    It actually felt very similar to my RL-Marlow wingtips... a bit narrow in the toe box but roomy in the heel cup. I wouldn't be surprised if it were built on the 325 last.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    I stumbled across the BB shell cordovan cap toe boot (burgundy) at the BB on 20th and Broadway last night (few blocks south of the Flatiron building). It is 50% off, $498. They have 9D and 10D in stock. Was tempted but the fit wasn't great for me. Labeled Peal & Co, but pretty sure they are C&J...

    Winter and fall months may make the commando soles more appropriate for the elements for a boot like this.

    Love the boots. The scarf is pretty cool too! Nice wife!

    I doubt I would return that as a first. Great looking boots!

    Allen Edmonds vs. Alden--Which American Great Do You Prefer?!! OFFICIAL

    This is certainly possible, but I suppose my point was that AE does not offer a better value for the money, unless you go with their seconds from the Shoe Bank. That is how I value AE and thus that's how I come to my dichotomy about price and affordability. This is simply my opinion and...

    Allen Edmonds vs. Alden--Which American Great Do You Prefer?!! OFFICIAL

    You are certainly within your rights to do so. I think you have the wrong thread though... . I believe Carmina falls within that price range (with calf at the bottom end--$500+ and shell cordovan at the top end--$750). I believe Vass is more expensive with these same materials. While I...

    Allen Edmonds vs. Alden--Which American Great Do You Prefer?!! OFFICIAL

    ^^^ Alden also has it own issues with some QC. I haven't had any problems myself, but QC problems are well-documented on the Alden Appreciation thread. I have both, but much prefer Alden. I find them to be infinitely more comfortable. To those who are critical of Alden for its "clunkier"...

    The BB shell blucher on the M-58 last is a little tricky when comparing it to the barrie last. I go with the same size in barrie, but the M-58 last will feel significantly more narrow and trim. It fits my foot perfectly in 10.5D. The same size in barrie is a bit wider and rounder in the toe...

    Someone got a great deal on a nice pair of lightly used ravello LWBs! http://www.ebay.com/itm/151465584981?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Wow, the run of New Balance exclusives finally gets trumped by a new Alden shell (re-)release! Bravo, LS... would have been nice to see the masses have a chance at this one.
