These are firsts that i bought from the Alden store in midtown manhattan. I've taken great care of these shoes and they're in excellent condition. Heel is in good shape and i've had heel tap added by cobbler to extend its life. leather is excellent too and should last many many more years. I'm wearing barefoot shoes now and my feet have grown wider, otherwise i would continue rocking these! They really look great, looking to find them a good home. Comes with original box and shoe trees as pictured. Updated with more pictures of the sole and heel. All wear is below the line of the sole, so a sole replacement should restore the shoe to pristine condition. Alternatively replacing the heel tap would extend the current sole's life for much cheaper.

These are actually Alden 9900 Ravello shell that you can see here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/library.zenbutsu.com/2018/12/17/ravello-shell-cordovan-plain-toe-blucher-9900-2018/ I bought these second hand just thinking they were black and with a little black shell cream or a re-dye they would be. I really like the teacore accent look so I never did it. In the shade, they just look black, but the original color pops through here and there in the sun.  Soles are in excellent condition and the shoes are super comfortable. I’ve just decided to go up a size since these only fit with a thin dress sock. No box, but they will be packed with care.
