Alden shell cordovan shoes are finished by Alden's master craftsman. They are admired by the finest boot and shoemakers throughout the world. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tanning and hand finishing, the single tannery still producing genuine shell cordovan today is indeed practicing a rare art. The tanning process takes a full six months to complete and produces leather that is soft and supple, yet very durable, dovetailed heels, full glove leather lined flexible pure vegetable tanned leather insoles. Unsurpassed for breathable comfort and long wear, it assumes over time the contours of your foot shape giving a truly custom quality to the fit. Beneath the insole is a layer of cork, providing additional resilience and insulation. Every Alden New England shoe carries a tempered steel shank, precisely contoured and triple ribbed for extra strength. Truly the backbone of a fine welt shoe or boot, the shank provides the proper support and shape required to give comfort throughout the day. Oak tanned leather bends are cut into outsoles at factory for maximum control of quality, crafted not only with good looks, but with the integrity of fine shoemaking, a special addition to your wardrobe Double leather soles.” For reference, here are the approximate measurements (taken along the outsole): Length - about 12.25” Width (at the ball of foot) - 4.25” These shoes have been worn sparingly and maintained exceptionally well. While there is wear to the back heel lining portion (see pictures), the uppers are in exceptional condition, as well as the outsoles and heels (both original). 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, stripped them with Saphir Renomat, cleaned the Renomat off and then deep cleaned and conditioned with Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner, further conditioned with Saphir Médaille d'Or Lotion, mitigated folding/rolling with a deerbone and Ebony Stick treatment, edge-dressed/polished the sole-sidewall/edge with Saphir Beaute du Cuir Shoe Cream, polished with neutral Saphir Médaille d'Or Cordovan Cream to maintain the unique color and patina, and Oiled the soles with Saphir Médaille d'Or Sole Guard. Lastly, using the most expensive shoe brush money can buy – The Kirby Allison Wellington Yak Hair Shoe Shine Brush – I gave a final buffing. These shoes come from a pet and smoke-free home. Shoe trees are not included. MSRP: $917.00 If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Also, feel free to check out our account for other quality offerings!
