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.
Available in sizes 6-12D.
(Barrie last, $595.00)
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

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