Alden Shoes – Suede Shortwings on Commando (LSW & LSBH)

Tom — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:29:44 +0000

As Summer drifts into Fall, there’s nothing better than suede. Our newest Leather Soul Exclusive Alden shoes are these suede “shortwings” on commando soles.

The shape of the Barrie last suits wingtips perfectly while providing maximum comfort and fit for various footshapes. The commando rubber sole is not only comfortable, it’s durable and non-slip. Brass eyelets round out the features, giving it a casual vintage look.

Available in tan suede and snuff suede:

Available in sizes 6-12D.
(Barrie Last, $475.00)

Alden Shoes – Lady Calf Jumper Boots (LSW)

Tom — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:48:18 +0000

After numerous requests by our customers, we decided to create a calfskin version of our popular Jumper Boots.

Instead of regular dress calf, we chose extra soft and supple lady calf. Coupled with a double oiled leather waterlock sole, these boots will feel like a well broken in pair the first time you wear them.

Our original Jumper Boots are made on the Trubalance last, which not only perfectly matches the look of this vintage inspired pair of boots, but also provides maximum comfort for almost every foot shape.

Available in sizes 6-12D.
(Trubalance Last, $475.00)

Alden Shoes – The Attorney Shoe (LSW)

Tom — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:13:10 +0000

Designed specifically for our many local attorney clients who make the walk from Downtown Honolulu to district court, we present to you, the “Attorney Shoe.”

For an everyday, workhorse dress shoe, we thought the perfect choice would be a classic perforated tip oxford on the Plaza last. Alden’s deep burgundy dress calf works nicely with navy, charcoal grey, olive, tan…pretty much any color you can think of. The oiled flex single leather sole provides comfort for walking while still maintaining a dressy profile.

Just because you are not an attorney doesn’t mean this shoe isn’t for you! We could have easily called it the “Every Man Should Own It Shoe!”

Available in sizes 6-12D, 8-11E.
(Plaza Last, $425.00)

Alden Shoes – Tan Suede PTBoot w/Crepe Sole (LSW)

Tom — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:30:50 +0000

Another variation of our popular Alden Plain Toe Boots w/Crepe Sole has just arrived, this time in supple tan suede.

We prefer them dirty and beat up with natural indigo stains, but feel free to use a high quality suede protector spray to keep the suede pristine. Either way, these suede PTBoots with soft crepe sole will not only look great, they will be one of the most, if not the most comfortable boots you will ever wear!

Available in sizes 6.5-11.5D, 8-9E.
(Barrie Last, $475.00)

Alden Shoes – #8 PTBoot w/Crepe Sole Re-Stock (LSW)

Tom — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:50:48 +0000

Alden Shoes – Chromexcel Plaza Wingtip Boot (LSW & LSBH)

Tom — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 05:56:34 +0000

Our Plaza Wingtip Boots in shell cordovan have been extremely popular ever since we introduced them back in 2007. Since Horween’s chromexcel has also been such a success for us with our Ultimate Indy, we thought, why not mix together two of our most popular items? The result was our Plaza Wingtip Boots in Chromexcel.

A couple new additions to the makeup include metal eyelets and a double oiled leather waterlock sole.

Available in sizes 6-13D.
(Plaza Last, $495.00)

Alden Shoes – Navy Suede PTB x 2 (LSW & LSBH)

Tom — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:02:25 +0000

When we first saw the samples of navy suede last year, we knew it would be a hit. Fast forward 9 months and our first two full navy suede models have arrived.

First up, perfect for the remainder of Summer going into Fall, an unlined plain toe blucher with oiled flex sole. A perfect shoe to wear sockless with shorts or matched with chinos.

Moving from summer to Fall/Winter, we’ve made up a plain toe boot with plantation crepe sole. Both models are on the Barrie last for ultimate comfort.

Blucher:
Available in sizes 6-11D.
(Barrie Last, $425.00)

Boot:
Available in sizes 6-11.5D.

Alden Shoes – The Ranger Shoe

Tom — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 05:33:01 +0000

We are proud to announce the arrival of one of our more anticipated Leather Soul Exclusive Alden models…the Ranger Shoe.

For our version, we used the pattern from the Indy Shoe for a cleaner look and added a reverse welt and plantation crepe sole. We changed the last to the Van last for it’s boxy, casual nature. Blind eyelets and a handsewn front apron rounds out the details. Horween Leather’s black or burgundy color #8 shell cordovan age beautifully and last a lifetime.

The “ranger moccasin shoe” will always be a New England classic but we hope you like our take on it, the Ranger Shoe.

Available in sizes 6-12D.
(Van last, $625.00)
