I just bought these Aldens and can't wait to receive them. I wear a 10.5 D in Allen Edmonds. I've read the lasts vary on different models, does anyone know the model of these and whether they'll compare to AE's in sizing? Fingers crossed!

Those are some nice looking shoes.

Regarding sizes, the last on which the shoe is made is just as important, if not more so, than the size itself.

That shoe, the Alden 935, from my brief research, is on their Plaza last, which runs 'true to size' from what I hear, though I don't own any in that last myself.

When you say your AE size, it really depends on the last. What shoe do you wear in 10.5 in AE?

You might also inquire in the Alden Thread in the SW&D section: http://www.styleforum.net/t/85589/the-official-alden-thread

Great info and a relief, thank you very much.

I reacted a little fast to buy before researching the size, afraid someone else would get them first. Glad I did and now very relieved that these should be perfect.

The only downside is that I had JUST bought 2 pairs of Allen Edmonds so this is 3 pairs in 1 week. I guess that could be an upside, depending on your perspective. ;)
