Alden Shoes – The American Saddle Shoe
After the success of our previous two tone shell cordovan saddle shoe, we decided to offer it again with a slight vintage twist. This time, our Leather Soul exclusive Alden saddle shoes have metal eyelets and flat waxed laces. A minor detail change that makes a huge positive difference in our opinion.
SOLD OUT!

Wow, Tom, these are some beauties.
What do you think about the width of these shoes ? I normally wear 10,5E; like in my Chukkas, or in some Alden Shell Longwings which are also on the barrie last. Do you think the 10,5 D could fit or would u say the 11 D is probably the better choice? (or maybe none of them fit ? ;(
Thanks in Advance !
Kind Regards
Simon

Simon,
Thank you for the comment. If you are wearing an E width on your chukkas and longwings, you would definitely be an E in these too. You could try a 11D but they probably won’t be an ideal fit.
To be notified of upcoming preorder opportunities, please join our preorder mailing list by sending an email to preorder@leathersoulhawaii.com. That way you can order our shoes in an E width fitting.
Aloha,
Tom

Tom,
Those look great. A quick question, is the secondary color black or navy. I assume that they are black shell cordovan, but just wanted to check/

Wow, these shoes are exactly the same one as my first Alder shoes I owned 22 years ago. One different, mine were in one tone #8.

Hi Tom,
I know this is probably a dumb question but in your opinion can these be worn with a suit? I’m looking for a versatile shoe that can be dressed
up or down. I had a pair of saddle shoes years ago that I loved and these remind me a lot of them but I really need something that will work with suits and casual attire.
That being said, my question is pointless if you don’t have size 10 1/2D in stock.
Thanks,
Casey

Casey,
Thank you very much for the comment. Honestly, I think it could be worn with a suit. Traditional train of thought would be no, but if done right I think it would look quite nice.
Unfortunately however, I am sold out of your size!
Aloha,
Tom

when will you get another supply of this shoe? 11.5D or maybe 12D
Tom said,

David,
It will probably on the next preorder so it would be about 6 months before we see it again.

Hello,
I’m sure you are sold out of these shoes, but I was wondering if/when you will be accepting pre-orders for these shoes?
Thanks!

I have 11.5D in the burgandy shell cordovan saddle shoes from Alden. would it be the same size with the american saddle shoes? Are they in stock or must I order them? I would like a pair.

Yes, it would be the same size and same fitting. We are currently accepting preorders on this shoe. Expected timeframe is about 6 months.
