A pair of Alden’s that I wore on my wedding day. They were a little too snug for me to wear comfortably again so I would say they run a small 9.5. A few blemishes but still a great looking shoe with really good condition on the soles. Aldens were good enough for the Beatles, they’re good enough for you.

These are a pair of the 972 Straight Tip Blucher in Walnut Brown Calfskin from Alden, made exclusively for Brooks Brothers. Good condition. Please note the imperfections depicted in the last two photos, including a few scuffs/scrapes on the left toe box and two small perforations to the tip of right toe box.  Shoe trees not included. • Size 9 ½ C (Medium-narrow width) • Aberdeen Last • Double Leather Outsoles • Made in USA

Shoes in decent shape for their age, probably 90s or 80s vintage. Some discoloration on the toe. These wear a little slimmer than a usual 12 B/D from Alden.
