    Yes they are beautiful. Depending on the weather and time of year they could be worn in almost any situation outside of a formal event.

    Another hit!

    Tom,

    Great looking shoes. I finally signed up for the pre-order list; I just can’t stay on the side line anymore…

    Quick question – I wear a 12E in the Alden shell PTB , so in the plaza last it would be a 12.5 E or 12E.

    Thanks

    Yong

    Received both pair today – thanks Tom! As you said, these are my go-to shoes from now on. I have many different styles of Aldens – Tankers, Chukkas, Long Wings, etc… but these are truly the most versatile and easy to wear of any shoe I own. Thanks again for making these happen!!!

    Yong,

    You would most likely be a 12.5E on the Plaza. I would have to double check to make sure it is available in that size.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    Thanks again,

    Tom,

    In the future – if you do another run – please take my order for a 12.5E in the plaza last. I will pay any deposit that you need for these pair of shoes.

    Thanks again,

    want to buy the shoes.
    I am located in Shanghai China.
    Could you ship to me?
    I usually wear Brooksbrothers shoes in 11.5.what size should I buy?
    Thank you.

  16. Tom said,

    on December 6, 2009 @ 7:02 pm

    George,

    Shipping would be $50. Sorry, I cannot give you a recommendation based on that. You will need to give me your Brannock measurement or sizing in other Aldens.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    Hello – I wear a 9.5 in the Barrie last. Normally a 10. Which size would you suggest? Thank you.

  22. Tom said,

    on December 16, 2009 @ 12:03 pm

    T,

    I would suggest a 10D however we are sold out of 10D already.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Do you have 8D? For your reference, I currently have a pair of 8D Alden cordovan Monk Strap. How does Plaza width compared to Aberdeen? Thanks.

  24. Tom said,

    on January 16, 2010 @ 1:05 pm

    Michael,

    Right now we only have 8D in black. Most people tend to take the same size as the Aberdeen.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  25. Bill said,

    Do you have a pair in 9D?

    Thank you

    Bill,

    Sorry, we are sold out in size 9D.

    Can you let me know if you will be ordering these soon in #8 – size 13 (plaza last).

  28. Tom said,

    on March 16, 2010 @ 2:13 am

    Eugene,

    Sorry, I don’t know if I will reorder these at the moment. Please keep tuned to the website for future preorder opportunities.

    I’m interested in a pair in black. Do you have either 6/12 or 7?
    Would you measure the outsole for me?
    THank you.

  30. Tom said,

    on March 21, 2010 @ 3:23 pm

    Paul,

    We have size 7D available at the moment. If you need help with sizing please let me know. Outsole length really has no bearing on sizing.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    I wear size 7 running shoes? I also wear 6 1/2 work boots. No reference for dress shoes though. thanks

  32. Tom said,

    on March 22, 2010 @ 9:15 pm

    Paul,

    I’m very sorry, I really can’t help you. I suggest getting fit in person at an Alden dealer for your first pair at least.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  33. paul w said,

    on March 23, 2010 @ 5:42 am

    Tom,

    I’ll order the size 7. Pleae emal me. Thank you

  34. Tom said,

    on March 23, 2010 @ 6:26 am

    Paul,

    I personally wear size 11 in running shoes and a size 9 or 9.5 in these. There should be a difference in size between athletic and these dress shoes. I’m sorry but I do not feel comfortable sending you the size 7 if you wear size 7 in running shoes.

    I highly suggest at the very least, getting measured at a shoe store on the Brannock Device.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  35. paul w said,

    Tom,

    If you have a pair in size 6 in black, that will fit. Please let me know.

  36. Tom said,

    on March 23, 2010 @ 11:30 am

    Paul,

    Sorry, we are sold out of 6.

    Aloha,
