Alden D8905HC Color 8 Shell Cordovan NST Tanker Boot

Alden Color 8 Shell Cordovan NST Commando Sole Boots, Size 12D, Barrie Last. Condition is New with box.

Brand new Alden Tanker Boot, size 10. Limited quantity available. Never been worn. Comes with the Alden shoe dust bags. The Tanker Boot is made on the Barrie last which was supplied to the US military from WWI through WWII. The Mock and Norwegian skin stitch toe detail is done completely by hand (Alden is the only American shoemaker skin stitching by hand) using two needles and two threads- no more than 6 boots are completed per day. This Alden + Context Tanker Boot upper is made from Horween's Genuine Color 8 Shell Cordovan, widely considered to be the ultimate leather for shoemaking. The leather insole is made of flexible leather of pure vegetable tan. Unsurpassed for breathable comfort and long wear, it assumes over time the contours of your foot shape giving a truly custom quality to the fit. Sizing:The Barrie Last is about 1/2 size larger than regular U.S. size (e.g. U.S. size 10 = Barrie Lasts size 9 1/2). While the boot will soften and take the shape of your foot with wear, we do not recommend buying these boots expecting stretch. If between sizes we recommend erring toward the larger size. Horween's Shell Cordovan is a leather of extraordinary quality and durability that with proper care will develop a beautiful patina that improves over time. A very versatile color, #8 can be worn when either black or brown shoes would be called for. Features:- Horween Color 8 Shell Cordovan- Antique 360 Degree Reverse Welt and Edge- Eyelets and Speed Hooks- Low Profile Commando Sole- Extremely Limited Stock
