**Brand:** Alden **Model:** 990 Plain Toe Blucher (PTB) **Material:** Genuine Horween Color 8 Shell Cordovan **Size:** US Men's 11 E (Wide Width) **Last:** Barrie Last ### Item Overview Up for sale is an authentic, premium pair of Alden 990 dress shoes in their iconic Color 8 Shell Cordovan leather. These classic American-made shoes feature a timeless plain-toe style and robust Goodyear welt construction, making them a lasting staple for any wardrobe. ### Condition Breakdown: Good Pre-Owned These shoes have been gently worn, well-maintained, and are completely structurally sound. * **Leather Uppers:** The premium shell cordovan leather retains its beautiful, deep burgundy shine. It shows the natural, smooth leather rolling and creasing across the top of the feet that cordovan is famous for, along with minor surface scuffing around the heels. There are no cracks, deep cuts, or tears. * **Interior & Insoles:** The full tan leather inner linings are clean. The gold foil "Alden New England" logos stamped on the heel pads are crisp, bright, and easy to read. * **Soles & Heels:** The original leather bottom soles show standard pavement wear from regular use, but they remain firm, flat, and solid. The stitching around the edges is tight, and the heel caps have plenty of life left before needing any repairs. ### Sizing Note These shoes are built on Alden's famous Barrie Last. The Barrie last traditionally runs about a half-size larger than standard US sneaker or dress shoe sizing, meaning an 11 E typically fits closer to an 11.5 medium/wide. *The shoes will be packaged securely and shipped quickly. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to evaluate the condition details before purchasing. Feel free to send a message if you have any questions!* *Fast Shipping 1-2 Business Days with tracking provided. Thanks for looking! --- Use
