I found them, learned all I could about them, started buying them. Their business relies on return customers, yes? There is a cost to building the way they do, and a younger generation will not be buying Alden when they see the price/quality. I love Alden, but I cannot recommend them to a young man trying to get started in life, because the normal experience for me is bad heel stacks. That’s structural, not cosmetic. If every shoe has a heel stack, it shouldn’t be a question.You discovered Alden less than a year ago and now you "doubt their future"?
What is the future you think they have?
This is their past, present and future.
- Better value elsewhere
- Mainly coasting on historical brand marketing/nostalgia
- Making better boots likely wouldn't expand their market at all
- Don't they already raise prices every year?

It’s basic shoe construction and I’m curious why it’s EVERY shoe I bought, but only occasionally do I hear it from others.
I’m not talking about cosmetics, mine were unwearable on hard surfaces in some cases, but most cases it was only after wearing them for a full day, they get more and more uncomfortable. The heel was putting pressure like pinching a nerve.I would argue that the vast majority of Alden buyers aren’t examining the heel stack so it doesn’t matter.

And he spent it all on a woman who never even slept with him!!! Gives us accountants a bad rep as major simps.
Similar to how no one can possibly make me think of you as more of a cuck!If it makes you feel better, no one can possibly make me think of you as more of a simp 👍
Money definitely helps with the (lack of) looks!

Someone came up with some very clever prompts for MidJourney:
"Man on the left is wearing a green sportcoat, orange tie, and blue check shirt. His face should be 35% Scott Baio and 65% Anthony Scaramucci. He has a slightly pained expression on his face, as if the Miralax suddenly kicked in moments ago, and he notices a sizable line for the restroom."
