Edward Green – Halifax, Almond Country Calf

The perfect example of the English Country Boot, the Edward Green Halifax exudes class and character; rugged enough for the hunting trails yet civil enough to pair with a tweed suit.

Alden Shoes – The Cordovan V-Tip

The Shell Cordovan V-Tip, available in Burgundy #8 and Black, continues to be our #2 best seller. Over the years we have sold hundreds of pairs, second only to the #1339, Shell Cordovan Chukka Boot.

There’s nothing wrong with #2. For a classic American dress blucher, we feel as though there is nothing better. Built on the Leydon Last, with a Single Leather Sole, the V-Tip, with a cult-like following in Japan, is a classic Alden model that every Alden fan should own!

Available in Sizes 6-10.5D.
(Leydon Last, $575.00)

Alden Shoes – The Vintage Indy

Indiana Jones Fanatics are constantly trying to achieve “screen accurate” gear. We believe we are pretty close to acheiving that (along with a few major improvements as well) with our new Leather Soul Exclusive Vintage Indy Boots.

A follow up, or shall we say, Sequel, to our ever popular Ultimate Indys, these Vintage Indys are built with the same upgraded features such as Full Leather Linings, Higher Grade Leather (Vintage Oiled Nubuck), and a Leather and Commando Sole. We also chose an All Around Reverse Welt for a “cleaner” rugged look.

Available in sizes 6-12D.

Alden Shoes – Flex Monk Strap

Riding the subways of Tokyo you’ll notice (as well as in any big city around the world) a lot of chunky, square toed, rubber soled shoes worn by businessmen on their way to work. It’s a tragic sight, but one all too familiar for those who appreciate finer footwear.

Those very unattractive shoes were the inspiration for our new Flex Monk Straps. Built on the Plaza Last, with an Oiled Leather Sole (great for rainy days), Alden’s Flex Welt Construction, in a buttery Soft Black Calf, these “Salary Man Shoes” are “everday comfortable” and will take the place of those chunky-monkey shoes in a perfect world.

Available in sizes 6-11D.
(Plaza Last, $425.00)
SOLD OUT!
