Hasn’t actually broken through the outsole. They are men’s size 10.5.

Der Schnitt des Bluchers entstammt den widrigen Bedingungen des frühen neunzehnten Jahrhunderts und wurde erdacht, um dem Fuß unter anhaltender Beanspruchung unnachgiebigen Halt und zugleich Raum zu gewähren. In seiner Ausprägung als Plain Toe Blucher findet diese historische Zweckmäßigkeit ihre reinste Form. Die Konstruktion verlangt zwingend nach einem großen, fehlerfreien Stück Leder, da der gesamte vordere Schaft völlig ohne teilende Nähte auskommt.   Das Material entspringt der Horween Leather Company in Chicago und besteht aus reinem Shell Cordovan. Dieses Pferdeleder durchläuft einen halbjährigen Gerbprozess, bei dem es unter Einsatz pflanzlicher Extrakte seine charakteristische Festigkeit und jene unvergleichlich geschmeidige Tiefe entfaltet.  Gefertigt auf dem legendären Barrie-Leisten, zeichnet sich die Form durch ein großzügiges, harmonisches Volumen und eine souveräne Präsenz aus. Die rahmengenähte Konstruktion verankert den Schaft durch einen robusten, rundum verlaufenden Rahmen mit dem Boden. Eine doppelte Eichenledersohle vollendet das Fundament und schenkt einen beruhigend festen Stand. Jede einzelne Naht dieser beständigen Architektur trägt ein leises Versprechen von Dauer in sich, das die Jahre mit vollendeter Eleganz überdauert.    Größe: US Größe 7,5 / Weite E (EU Größe 41 / UK Größe 7)    Gesamtlänge außen: Innenlänge: ca. 30,5 cm ca. 27,5 cm    Breite: ca. 10,8 cm    Leder/ Äußerer Zustand: Das Paar ist ungetragen und präsentiert sich in einem absolut neuwertigen Zustand mit allenfalls sehr leichten, rein lagerungs- oder anprobebedingten Spuren.    Absatz/ Sohle: Die Lederlaufsohle ist ungetragen mit allenfalls minimalen, rein anprobebedingten Spuren. Die Unterseite des Absatzes weist eine dezente, rein oberflächliche Aufrauung aus dem Vorbesitz auf. Diese feine, ausschließlich optische Nuance ist absolut unbedenklich und hat keinerlei Auswirkungen auf die Substanz, die Langlebigkeit oder die Funktionalität des Absatzaufbaus.    Sonstiges: Der Alden Plain Toe Blucher in schwarzem Shell Cordovan krönt diese reiche amerikanische Handwerkstradition mit der Aura einer vollendeten, zeitlosen Ästhetik. Originalkarton und Schuhbeutel sind nicht vorhanden.    _________________________________________ Sollten Sie noch nicht das passende Paar gefunden haben, lade ich Sie herzlich zu einem Besuch in meinem eBay-Shop ein.
