Alden 975 long wing blucher originally manufactured for J. Crew per the heel pad. These are US men's size 10D (Alden calls it a combination last D forefoot/B heel) in color 8 shell cordovan. These have been worn on and off for a few years but do not fit my feet well. I have had topy half soles applied, otherwise these are on their original soles and heels. I have conditioned these with a light coat of venetian shoe cream. Plenty of life left in the uppers (it is shell after all) as well as the soles. The shoe trees are not included but original shoe bags will be.
