Your move mocha...

I just got my tracking number this afternoon. It's going to take me a few days.

@Epaulet Any chance of a restock of the old Alden Tyrol blucher? If not, anyway we could do it as an GMTO on the Grant/aberdeen last?

For those of you who don't remember:

@venividivicibj Mike and I were actually just tossing around some new Alden ideas while at the Individualized factory. We could absolutely anniversary this style, with some updates, if people were into it. Let's pool some thoughts on what details everyone would like to see on the Tyrol 2.0.

Aside from that, we're planning on bringing back the navy chromexcel tanker boot, for sure:


We're also thinking about running another Alt Wien boot. I was thinking of an Innsbruck variety (brown chromexcel, brass eyes, commando sole), but we're open to other suggestions. An example of the style below (not the leather/ details):



Please keep in mind that for this batch of Alden make-ups we're going to focus on leathers other than shell cordovan (for delivery purposes). Aside from that parameter, all other suggestions are welcome!

Saddle was far and away the best Tennis Trainer color, so I think that the Sport Trainer in that is going to be rad.

The man has spoken. End of debate. #TeamSaddle

I haven't ordered the latest Saddle or Mocha tennis trainers but here's one for the previous round of high tennis trainers --- this is for Team Sienna Brown. Wearing them today. I want to see what comes down the road in the high trainers for CC.

Question for the tennis trainer owners - anybody else have insoles that stop about 1/4" before the end of the shoe inside? Mine both have gaps at the front like the insole is a little short and on the left one it's a bit narrow so my big toe hangs off the edge in one spot. Love them, but was on my feet for 5 hours in them today and was definitely noticing some discomfort from that.

@slide13

The insoles on mine fit perfectly and the shoes are, in general, extremely comfortable. The only trouble I have is limiting the frequency with which I wear them.

Team Mocha. I'll try to get a pick in real sunlight soon.

Are you sure it's not the insoles sliding back and up the heel? This happened on my quoddy bluchers and I ended up glueing the insoles down.

Yeah, it isn't that. I've had that with Quoddys before too. These aren't sliding back, they're gluded in place and the heel is well positioned.


Thanks for the feedback @Swangerman. Other than the insole issue mine are really comfy too and I could see myself wearing them a lot.

My experience is 4-5 days. But, frequently 2 of those days are label created, awaiting pickup.

@EP Dylan Maybe put it on the grant/aberdeen last to make it a bit more refined? Or make it with an antique welt rather than natural? Id buy it as is, or with the changes, was such a good shoe
