This is a pair of Alden authentic black shell cordovan shoes in size 10 B/D. This shoe is known as the ”Straight Tip Bal,” and it is on Alden's Hampton last. These feature a single leather outsole, flat welt, black edge trim, and matching welt stitching. They were made for J. Crew, and were made with Horween's black shell cordovan. I am the original owner, and I have kept these shoes in nice condition, always with cedar shoe trees in them when I wasn't wearing them. As you can see from the photos, the soles have a rubber ”sole saver” on them. I also have plastic heel and toe ”taps” to limit wear on the edges. These things -- the sole savers and taps -- prevent wear on the soles, and save you the expense of re-soling the shoes. These retail for $800: https://aldenmadison.com/collection/straight-tip-bal-color-8-shell-cordovan-9015/ The cedar shoe trees shown in the photo are included in the sale. Nothing else is included; I don't have the original box or shoe socks. Although I have done everything I can to take care of these shoes, they are not new, so as you can see from the photos, the markings on the inner sole are faded, and I am sure that if you inspect closely you may find some scuffs or surface scratches where the shoes came in contact with something during their lifetime. The last photo shows, by way of example, a surface indentation from the shoe coming in contact with something. If you are looking for shoes that are in new condition, this is not the pair for you. You should look for a deal on a brand new pair in that case. These will last a lifetime if properly cared for. I am selling them only because I mainly work from home these days and don't have occasion to wear dress shoes all that often. In my experience, these shoes fit half a size smaller than my actual shoe size. In other words, I normally wear a size 10.5 shoe, but this pair of Aldens, marked a size 10, fits me very comfortably. However, your feet may be different, and the best way to ensure a proper fit is to visit an Alden store and try on a few pairs. In my experience, Alden makes shoes on a variety of lasts, and while some fit ”true to size,” others do not. Although I want every buyer to be happy with their purchase, I am not a retail store and it is a burden for me to accept returns based on sizing issues. If you are not familiar with the brand, please note that Alden's cordovan shoes are made on steel lasts. This makes them stiffer, but it also means that you will set off any metal detector when you walk through it. In other words, if you are wearing these shoes when you go to the airport, you will need to take them off and put them through the x-ray machine even if you have TSA Pre-Check.
