FS: Alden Shell Cordovan Longwing 9.5 E on Commando Sole

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
$475 shipped in US ---> $360 Model 9751C (C for Commando, suckas) Size 9 1/2 C/E ... Black Shell Cordovan ... Barrie last ... double sole Commando Non-commando version retails for $600 at Shoemart, and will increase this month. This commando version is a special makeup and not available anywhere. Used, but looks like it was ONE wear, look at the insole. Look at the heel and toe, 99%. No weird flaws like newyorkRanger's posts. No scratches, and the creases are symmetrical. Not worn in the rain, you can tell it has remained dry. Shoe trees not included. Perfect fair or foul weather all-purpose black dress shoe. Jeans, flannels, suits, sportcoats, funerals, weddings, and raves. If you have only one black shoe, this should be it. Heavyweights. Size almost worked for me (9.5 on the large side) but too big. Conventional SF wisdom says this is for a US 10 or 10E. I think they could definitely work for a 10, but no guarantees on sizing. No returns unless I accidentally send you a dirty blue necktie.

Big fan of the commando soles on Alden shells. Don't have the back pain from wearing them that I do with the all leather soles, nice traction on slippery surfaces, looks formal enough to wear with suits, and substantial so you feel like a real man when you wear them (as opposed to a "fancy lad"). If they were 9s, I'd be buying them. Good luck with the sale.

I'll bump this for the sake of a basic question - what does "commando sole" mean? If it's because they look like hiking boots on the bottom, couldn't anyone ask for their shoes to be resoled that way? I ask because you wrote it's "not available anywhere."

The shoes look great and it's a really good price. (Too bad they're a little too big for me.)

Commando sole is exactly those hiking boot looking things on the leather soles. Alden of Carmel is the only one I know that carries these kind of soles on Aldens. Alden shop in NYC can also install these kind of sole guards for $40 when you buy shoes from them.
