Alden 95481C Brown Chromexcel Plain Toe Blucher

Alden AF90 Size 9DAlden of CarmelBrown Plain Toe Commando SoleLeydon Last I bought these from Alden of Carmel years ago (maybe 2010?), but they are a little too tight for me, so I only wore them a couple times. The stitching of the quarter to the vamp is slightly untidy in one small area of the right shoe (see detail pic) but the price reflects this and it’s hard to notice if not looking for it. If you have any questions for me, please let me know. Thanks!

Matching color laces with 5 blind eyelets. Labeled a size 10.5 D width U.S., and shaped over the Barrie last.

They’ve been making shoes in the USA since 1884! Goodyear welt construction provides the best in support, and wearability, and means you can have your Aldens resoled many times, which you’ll undoubtedly want to do, once you experience the blissful joy of their comfort and their timeless good looks.I have not polished / touched-up these shoes in any way...1) because I don't have the recommended product from Alden (or Horween - the tanner of Chromexcel leather), and 2) I want you to see the ACTUAL, unre-touched condition of these superior shoes. LOTS of life left in these beauties!Because this item is a bit more expensive, and I want your satisfaction, I WILL accept returns on this if it does not fit to your liking (within a couple days of you receiving it).
