question for you guys (the alden thread didnt answer)
i wear a size 8.5 D Modified Last - have 4 pairs from moulded. wear a size 9 is most else (quoddy, etc)
i wanted to get a pair of chukkas. sized and got the Alden Leydon Suede Chukka in a 9. felt ok.
wore it at home, at work, the heels are real painful- perhaps slipping?
FYI i have narrow heels i inherited from my father.
QUESTION- do i have any options?
thanks
Sorry to hear about your issue with the chukkas. Which color suede did you get?
I wear a 7.5D in the Modified last and all the Modified boots in that size fit me really well. I bought a pair of the Leydon chukkas (in snuff) a couple of months ago at Alden SF and the SA there recommended 8E because I have a high instep. I'm guessing you got a 9D, correct?
I have pretty narrow heels as well but my chukkas don't hurt me at all. Do both your heels hurt? That's strange because these chukkas have hardly any heel counter at all. Actually, the heel counter is quite strangely shaped. Do you think that could be it?
