Alden Mens Shoes 12 D preowned excellent condition - Special order style D8402 C Plain Toe Blucher is built on thePlaza last. The model has a brown Alpine Grain leather upper with a commandooutsole. With box and dust bag and card frommanufacturer Pre-owned but in excellent condition Red/white laces It is this philosophy applied to shoemaking that has made Alden the best American shoemaker. The rich quality of craftsmanship one experiences when first taking a pair of Alden shoes out of its box is due to the character of the people who make Alden shoes. They have continued for years to practice their craft, resisting the pressure to eliminate difficult or time consuming processes, and resisting the temptation to use less expensive or lower quality materials. Thus, the pair of Alden shoes which leaves the box, and goes onto your feet, preserves to some degree, the tradition and culture of earlier generations. In addition to the intrinsic quality of Alden shoes, there are three practical and apparent qualities: 1) Visually, Alden shoes are balanced and classically proportioned. 2) Alden shoes are comfortable. (comfort due to shoe construction, and comfort due to last shape) 3) Alden shoes are durable. The Alden name stands for a belief in old-world craftsmanship. Aside from the need to do business and make money, the people at Alden are thinking about the quality of the product, and small improvements are continually being made, bringing Alden shoes closer to an ideal combination of form and function.

Alden (of Carmel) Dutton Brown Alpine Grain 3-Eye Blucher D8402C - Plaza 12 B/D. Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Alden for Alden of Carmel Dutton 3-eye plain toe blucher, rendered with alpine grain leather, on the plaza last. Please know your sizing in this last, as I do not accept returns. That said, this iteration of a plaza shoe seems to have a tad more volume around the midfoot area than other plaza lace-ups, perhaps due to the lack of a couple more lacing eyelets. Beautiful shoe with the versatile commando sole bottom. One shoe (left one) contains a leather tongue pad, and the other was removed. Fewer than ten wears - minimal heel and toe drag, minimal scuffing. The inside right heel has some superficial imperfection in the alpine grain (more detail in 7th photo of series), but nothing very noticeable, certainly not when wearing. Nor does is effect longevity - purely cosmetic. Maintained with Saphir products and stored with shoe trees (not included with purchase). I will include the original shoe bags and box. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for your interest!
