Alden 14904 Brown Chromexcel Chukka

Alden x Unionmade Chukka Unlined Leather Chromexcel Boot Size 8 B/D. Brown These are beautiful Alden chukkas in brown Chromexcel leather with no lining. They are a size 8B/D on the Barrie last, which fits a half size larger than other Aldens. The Barrie last is rounded and full in the toe, making a perfect choice for medium/wide feet. They have a single waterlock leather sole. If you place great value on serious quality craftsmanship then the venerable label Alden is the right choice in terms of classic shoemaking. The oiled flex sole is applied using a classic welt technique making the Chukka boot a durable addition to your own shoe collection. Alden's lasts are all ”combination” lasts, where the heel is two widths narrower than the rest of the shoe. Alden denotes the width of the shoe as a fraction: the top of the fraction represents the width of the heel, while the bottom represents the width of the rest of the shoe. The bottom of the fraction is considered the width of the shoe and is the width upon which you should base your sizing.

These are beautiful Alden chukkas in brown Chromexcel leather with no lining. They are a size 9D on the Barrie last, which fits a half size larger than other Aldens. They have a single waterlock leather sole. I thought I liked the fit, so I wore them to a carpeted event one night before I decided they were bigger than I liked. I need to unload these in order to get something else (that means big discount for you!).
