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

Tom,
Let me know if these shoes would be available in a 12.5 E – plaza last.
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,
Yong

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.
Tom said,

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.
Tom said,
on December 16, 2009 @ 12:03 pm
T,
I would suggest a 10D however we are sold out of 10D already.

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.

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

Do you have a pair in 9D?
Thank you
Tom said,

Bill,
Sorry, we are sold out in size 9D.

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.
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
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

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

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

Paul,
Sorry, we are sold out of 6.
