ALDEN MEN'S LIGHT BROWN LEATHER ALL WEATHER WALKER STYLE 947 U.S. SIZE 10.5 AA/B Preowned in great condition Souls have been converted to double stack, leather with commando soles See pictures Will only ship USPS priority mail

I purchased these lightly used but hated the original plantation crepe soles. Sent them to Unsung in Nashville (very skilled cobblers) to have a Vibram 700 sole put on them. I've barely worn them since, as I recently discovered that I've been sizing incorrectly- hence these being for sale. Condition: Please note the stained lining. For some reason the leather reacted with my socks and left these stains as well as erasing some of the original markings. It's not mold or anything. You can also see evidence of the inserts I wore in these from marks on the insole. There are also felt tongue pads in place- they were present when I purchased them and happened to suit my low-volume instep. I will be leaving their removal up to the buyer, as I don't want to risk damaging the lining if they will be needed in the future. Very little wear to the soles. The Vibram 700 has good traction and comfort. Unsung did a great job with the resole- note the leather heel stacks. A few of the welt stitches didn't quite hit the original holes, but even Alden's original work wasn't perfect. The leather insoles have some imprinting but should not cause an issue during wear. A few stray marks on the upper leather but nothing serious or noticeable during wear. Please view the pictures thoroughly Sizing: These are built on the Barrie last, so you should wear them a half size down from your Brannock size. These would be best for a Brannock 9C. The Barrie last has a relatively wide heel and voluminous instep, so be aware of that. You'll see that the size appears to be marked as ”8.5A”: Alden lasts are combination lasts, meaning that the heel size is proportionally narrower than the forefoot. So these are actually 8.5A/C, meaning A width in the heel and C in the forefoot. The C has simply worn away.

Shoes are pre-owned and in very good condition .Check photos for full description, Original packaging and accessories will not be included unless you see them on picture.

Alden Plain Toe Blucher (PTB) in Brown/tan Alpine Hatch Grain Calf 947 / Barrie Last / Crepe Double Sole with Reinforced Leather Tip Storm Welt look even better in person. something about the glow/luster the alpine calf gives in the daylight. underrated casual alden. added an old alden catalogue ad for the vibe *NOTE By buying from me, you help support my fund to buy new Aldens :)

This auction is for a pair of Alden 947 Men's dress shoes. Nice pair, they were worn a fair amount and have some obvious issues: Scuffing to the leather uppers in multiple spots. Soles show light wear, with visible cracking to leather soles at toes. May need to have new soles or at least new soles toward toes at some point. See all pics and bid accordingly. Marked size 11.5 A/C. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. If paid for in the morning I can typically ship the same day, but if not I will try and get the item out the next day. Thanks for understanding.
