Alden Men's 1493 - Unlined Chukka Boot Flex Welt - Snuff Suede Size 12 Preowned. Sells for over $600 on The Shoe Mart. Description taken from their site: Unlined Chukka Boot Snuff Suede Calfskin Leather Flex Welt Construction Single Flexible Leather Outsoles 360 Degree Goodyear Storm Welt Leydon Last. Alden Snuff Suede unlined chukka boot. This unique combination of super soft calfskin snuff suede uppers with vegetable tanned insoles. Flex construction leather outsoles provide a great looking classic casual boot, while the natural sole edge further enhances this very appealing boot. Flex models are made with Goodyear welted construction; beneath the insole is a layer of cork, providing additional resilience and insulation. Every Alden New England shoe carries a tempered steel shank, precisely contoured and triple ribbed for extra strength. Truly the backbone of a fine welt shoe or boot, the shank provides the proper support and shape required to give comfort throughout the day.

Alden unlined tobacco suede chukkas in 9D. Recently resoled w/ Dainite soles by B. Nelson (NYC cobbler of some repute). This is your chance to get some great Aldens with a lot of life left in them without forking over a huge chunk of change. (Seriously...if you used quarters and paid $640 for new ones, that would be 2,560 quarters.) I have personally evolved and am no longer a suede chukka guy, sadly. However, my evolution is your gain. To all up-and-coming/current suede chukka guys, this is a relatively painless way to start/add to your collection. Maybe you want some ”beater” Aldens you can wear while washing the car, traipsing through the mud, or wearing to bars/parties where beer might spill on your precious shoes and instead of normally having a hissy fit, you can finally be the cool guy and just say ”No worries” as you calmly wipe off your shoes and act like nothing happened. Everyone else will think ”Holy crap, [your name] usually goes psycho when even a speck of dust touches his Aldens but now he's super chill”--but little do they know that you got these on eBay for a steal and they were already used, so you don't have to baby them like they're your only chukkas in the rotation. And thus you will ascend within your social circle(s) as ”Chill Chukka Guy”.

Paid $800 for these last year. I have these in black too, so I'm downsizing my collection. Thanks,
