For reference, here are the approximate measurements (taken along the outsole): Length - 12.5" Width (at the ball of foot) - just under 4.25" These shoes have been worn sparingly and maintained exceptionally well. I gave theses shoes the total shell cordovan works; cleaned them inside and out with Weimans Leather Wipes, rehydrated the leather insoles and lining with Weimans Leather Conditioner Liquid, deep cleaned and conditioned with Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner, further deep conditioned with Saphir Médaille d'Or Lotion, mitigated folding/rolling with Ebony Stick treatment (and additional Lotion), edge-dressed/polished the sole-sidewall/edge with Saphir Beaute du Cuir Shoe Cream, oiled the soles with Saphir Médaille d'Or Sole Guard, and polished with neutral Saphir Médaille d'Or Cordovan Cream to maintain the unique color and patina. Lastly, using the most expensive shoe brush money can buy – The Kirby Allison Wellington Yak Hair Shoe Shine Brush – I gave a final buffing. They come from a pet and smoke-free home.

For auction is a beautiful pair of gently used Alden Shell 974 Oxfords. They are "color 8" which is a deep burgundy that varies on the different parts of the shoe. They were worn very infrequently as shown in the photos. The only issue, and it is minor, is a small dent/tiny cut on the inside of the heel on the right shoe. This is shown in one of the photos. The exterior is blemish-free. The shoes are marked AAA/A which is very narrow. Make sure you are aware of your size and ask for measurements if needed. Check out the photos for the best description and email with any questions.
