Alden D1808HC Arabica Lux Cap Toe Boot

For sale are a pair of Alden Stitchdown boots in Arabica luxury leather with brass eyelets and a commando sole in size 8E, Barrie last. Barrie last runs half a size large, so these would fit someone who wears a size 8.5D/E. Boots are in very good condition; only signs of wear are small scuffs on the toe, but otherwise, boots are in excellent condition with plenty of life left. If I had to estimate, they’ve been worn 10-15 times in mostly an office setting. Sale comes with shoes and Alden flannel shoe bags.

Alden arabica leather cap toe boots. These are 10.5 E width (marked C/E. See image) boots. These I barely wore, mainly around the house. Few creases and near mint soles…they can almost pass for new. They come with Alden shoe bags, but no box as I foolishly tossed it. The soles have not yet formed to my feet, as I think I had maybe 3 days wearing these a few hours each day around my house.

Excellent shape Alden jumper boots in Barrie last 10.5 c/e wide fitting. Arabica leather. Barely worn…around the house a few days. Downsizing my footwear collection. They cost me close to 800…my loss is your gain. Tons of life left in these I barely wore them and the soles have not yet to formed to my feet.

Alden D1880HC Arabica Lux Cap Toe Jumper Boots 10.5 B/D Barrie Last EUC ($754) From Franklin & Poe: “Alden's take on paratrooper boots from the 1940's, the Jumper boots keep the rugged readiness of their combat counterparts, but give them a taste of New England preppy sensibilities. Built from Lux leather from the famous Horween tannery, a full veg-tan leather know for near iridescence in the right light. This leather will age beautifully and will reveal a range of tones as it wears. This rendition of the boot features brass eyelets and speedhooks, a 360 degree pre-stitched reverse antique welt, classic brogue cap toe, and commando sole.” From Mindblend.com: “Horween Lux Leather is Veg-tanned using the same vegetable/bark extracts as their shell cordovan. The base leather color is natural with the deep dark brown finish on top. It’s a relatively thick cowhide, like Chromexcel, but it’s buttery soft and gets even softer - it almost feels like deerskin.” From Nick Horween: “Over time the finish will wear and show the lighter base color in some spots and darken in others. The sugary look is intentional (a function of the dye coats and top coats) and stands out particularly because we mill the leather for many hours. This softens the leather nicely, gives it a nice hand, and breaks up the surface giving it pronounced grain.”************ Beautiful Arabica Lux Cap Toe boots in excellent barely worn pre-owned condition. (Be advised that the Barrie Last runs 1/2 size large so these should fit a Brannock size 11). Please examine photos carefully before purchasing. Shoe trees not included. Thanks for looking!
