Alden 9016 Black Shell Cordovan Perforated Straight Tip Bal

Still in good  shape, a few superficial scratches  nothing major. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAILS

Alden cap-toe lace-up, black. See photos/title for exact model # and specific sizing. I went to graduate school in NYC.  Upon graduation and just prior to starting work I bought some suits/shirts/ties... ...and, four (4) pairs of Alden dress shoes -- all cordovan.   It didn't take me too long to figure out that pounding the NYC pavement in leather soled dress shoes was sub-optimal, LOL. These shoes have obviously been worn, but only sporadically for the last 20+ years. If this pair has been outside of the closet more than 5-times in the last 15yrs I'd be surprised.  Recently moved house and decided to share some good stuff with others that will get some use out of a quality item like this. My intention was to shine all the shoes but after a cursory wipe-down with a high-quality leather cleaner/conditioner, I decided to present these as-is.  I have always had OCD as it goes to my shoes and they were pretty much always hand-shined by myself after 1-3 wearings (most were low-stress outings to a cocktail party or church). Please see all photos, and ask questions if you have them. No shipping outside the continental United States, and NO RETURNS.  I generally use an expedited shipping method with FedEx or UPS, shoes will be shipped insured. If you have questions about the sizing of these shoes let me know and I will provide photos with measurements.  I was hand-fit for all of these shoes at the Official Alden Store on Madison Avenue in NYC.  This pair are B/D. See my other listings for more/great Alden, cordovan dress shoes!!    NOTE:  Foot-Joy shoe-horns NOT included!!

The cap toe design and classic black color make them versatile for formal occasions or adding a stylish touch to a more casual look.  This classic perforated Bal Oxford is made from the increasingly rare Shell Cordovan by the excellent Alden Craftsmen.  The very unique nature of shell cordovan keeps a great polish, and has a rich patina color that ages very well with wear.  The perforated lines give it a great classic look.
