Alden Shoes – Unlined Flex PTB in Shell Cordovan
Quite possibly the most comfortable shell cordovan shoe we’ve ever offered, our newest Leather Soul Exclusive Alden shoe is the Unlined Flex Plain Toe Blucher.
The unlined shell cordovan envelopes your foot like a well worn glove and the flex welt construction and single oiled leather sole make this shoe extremely comfortable right out of the box. This is the lightest shell cordovan shoe you will ever encounter. It will definitely put a spring in your step!
This is a definite must own shoe for the Alden aficianado!
SOLD OUT!

Just saw your pics at AAAC. These look way, way better than what I thought when I saw your email. Great job, Tom!

Destined to become a new classic. Unlined shell with the Horween stamp visible is the pure cordovan experience. I plan to add these to my unlined LHS and will hope to see more unlined models some day (hint, hint, Tom).

is the sizing affected at all by the absence of the lining?
Tom said,
on January 6, 2010 @ 10:18 am
David,
No, please go for the same size as any other Barrie lasted shoe.

Hello Tom.
Awaiting the opening of your SoCal Store. Is the Unlined Flex PTB available in a 9E? I wear a 9e in the AE Leeds (PTB). Also have a pair of BB in a cap toe 9.5 D. I have been considering purchasing a pair of Alden Chuka Boots until seeing this shoe. What would you recommend?
Tom said,
on January 11, 2010 @ 6:45 pm
Bob,
Sorry, we only have D widths in stock. If you would like to special order an E, we should be placing another order very soon so you could add your size to that order.
Hope to see you in Beverly Hills!
Aloha,
Tom

Does the Barrie last run large?
James said,

Tom,
Keep me in mind for an 11.5e when you do reorder!
James
Tom said,
on January 14, 2010 @ 7:38 pm
Bob,
Yes, about 1/2 size larger than standard US dress shoe sizing.
Aloha,
Tom
Tom said,

James,
It will probably be on the next preorder actually.
Aloha!

Wow! What a great idea! If they were the “wholecut” derby, I’d be sorely tempted.

Any 10.5 D left?
Thanks

Ed,
Sorry, we are sold out of 10.5D.

Any chance of these being offered in Black Shell Cordovan? I’m in the Navy and it would probably be the last uniform shoe I would ever have to buy.
Tom said,
on February 13, 2010 @ 8:08 pm
Chris,
To be honest, I really don’t think these would make good uniform dress shoes for you. The unlined nature makes them wrinkle much more and look more casual. I would stick to something like our other various plain toe models such as our recent Hampton plain toe.
Aloha,
Tom

Tom-
Will you be doing this shoe again this year?
Maybe in Ravello?
Thanks
Ed
Tom said,

Ed,
We do have them on order, only in #8, due late Summer. My most comfortable pair of Aldens by far.
Aloha,
Tom
Ed Barfield said,
on March 28, 2010 @ 12:54 pm
Tom,
Please reserve a pair for me in late summer. Size 10.5D.
Thanks so much.
When I make it to Hawaii, I will stop by for a pair of Lobb and Scotch.
Tom said,
on March 29, 2010 @ 11:16 am
Will do Ed!
Scott said,
on April 26, 2010 @ 7:47 am
Tom,
is it possible for me to reserve a 11.5D on the next batch of these (#8 color)
thanks,
Scott
Tom said,
on April 26, 2010 @ 2:54 pm
Hi Scott,
I’m sorry to say we only ordered 2 pairs of 11.5D and both are already spoken for. I’m sure we will reorder again soon so please keep tuned to the website for more details.
Aloha,
Tom

James
Tom said,

James,
Sorry, the order was placed a few months ago. I’m sure we’ll order them again though!
