Looks like they’re all sold out now. I’d try the 10D, sometimes Trubalance can fit a little tight especially in the vamp. But very little harm in trying them out. You can always return if you don’t crease them, or if you do and later decide they don’t work, I’m sure you could get back what you paid.

Fair point. Between the two Indys and the cigar LWBs I just bought, my bank account and I won't be on speaking terms for a while

Maiden voyage of my 2nd pair of Alden's...

I feel like these sold out much faster than the WTB. I have also seen a lot more users on this thread since that drop. Such a curious phenomenon. I enjoy watching.

Did anybody get a notification e-mail? Similar to the Ravello WTB, I didn’t receive one.

Nope. Safe to say that it isn't reliable. At least not for me.

I suck. Missed out again, I did get the email though!

Certainly worth testing. Just thinking they are Trubalance not barrie so likelihood that 9D works out given 8.5E is my ideal size on it (tiny bit of wiggle but 8.5D too narrow). I'm with you though between these and the Ravello WTB and citishoes sale.... CC bill going to be a nice one.

I got email, just wasn’t fast enough

Admittedly I'm fairly new to the Alden game (first pair about a year and a half ago), but is it unusual to see this many rare shell drops across multiple retailers in such a short amount of time or does Alden tend to release a few exotics at a time and then go on radio silence for a while?

Someome beat me to the 8.5D Cigars. Maybe next time. Jungle Boots today.

 

[jjschube]

No, in my 4-5 years of getting into Alden’s this hasn’t happened in a long, long time.

I didn’t receive one either, but I’m signed up for alerts in 11.5D/12D so they probably wouldn’t have sent one to me anyway.

A 10.5D should be restocked. I just received notice that my request to cancel my order was successful. I ordered on impulse thinking it might fit me. Decided I'd rather not deal with it. I don't know how it works over there but someone named Eric helped me. Maybe a phone call would secure the pair if it doesn't pop up online.

Question for the collective experience here. What is the highest price anyone has heard of (or paid himself) for an Alden exotic shell makeup? And what was the makeup?

Way more than what seems reasonable.
