This is a rare custom.make-up version of one of Alden's most popular boots, the Plain Toe Boot (PTB). Typically, Alden, one of the last great shoe manufacturers still building shoes in the USA, makes its PTB on the Barrie last, making for a rounded, full toe. This version is different - it is made on Alden's plaza last, which is a more elongated soft square toe. The plaza last makes for a more refined, elegant and dressy silouette that is the ultimate in versatility: it can be worn with suits, sport coat and slacks as well as jeans, chinos and other casual pants. These boots are made in Alden's famous burgundy color 8 Cordovan leather made by the famous and highly-regarded Horween Leather Company in Chicago, IL. These boots are new, in the box. Not only have they never been worn, they have been out of the box only to have the pictures taken that accompany this auction note. They have never even been laced or tried on. Although these are brand new, the Buy It Now price is less than the price new, and the auction starting price is lower still. You can have these brand new boots now at a fraction of the new price and with no wait for the make-up to be offered, much less completed.

Alden 13D plain toe boots on the Hampton last. Genuine Horween shell cordovan. Worn very little. Nice boots in pretty good shape. Some stitches worn on sole, and a small dent in the leather on one side.
