Alden 86980H Cigar Shell Cordovan Indy Boot

Marked Size: 8.5E Condition Grade: 7 Model: 86980H in Cigar Horween Shell Cordovan Last: Trubalance Measurements:12 3/8” by 4 5/8” Notes: Presented for sale is a machine stitch toe cigar shell cordovan Indy, originally made in only one run for Alden of Carmel in 2007. Shortly after this run, Alden switched to only making shell cordovan indy models with a hand stitched apron, making this pair extremely rare. This boot has an amazing ”old cigar” coloration distinctly different from the cigar shell cordovan used today. Over time, some color variation has developed between the panels on each boot and between the left and right boot. Has stock original commando soles. This run of cigar indys is claimed to be the first ever (source: https://library.zenbutsu.com/2017/12/04/cigar-shell-cordovan-indy-boot-86980h-af68-by-alden-of-carmel-2007/). Please note that shoe trees, shoe bags, shoe boxes, and other accessories are not included unless otherwise stated. Any stated color is an approximation, as how a color appears on screen and in person varies greatly depending on the settings, screen, and lighting conditions.
