It used to be a stock model in the Alden catalog. I have a pair in Alpine that I got from an Alden stockist on 56th & Park in NYC.

For the money, Alden is still your best bet. I will be trying Vass very soon, but I'm going to try the 3636 first before the P2.

 

Thanks.  How do you know this much about shoe lasts?!  Do you have a hard to fit foot, too?

OK Gents,

I had an interesting thought: given my wide foot, i need to wear the modified last. I wonder if i could get a podiatrist to proscribe alden modified last shoes for me.

Then i could possibly charge insurance for my proscription shoes, or more likely, buy them with my health savings account dollars so i use pre tax dollars? Make my funky feet useful for something besides shoe headaches?!

Has anyone this approach? Have any ideas on a podiatrist in NYC?

Thanks

I think your probability of getting this done is close to 0. Unless you have a deformity that requires you to wear a special medical device/shoe, I can't see them proscribing this or your HSA approving this charge (it's highly unlikely that they will allow an HSA approved transaction to flow through from a retailer like Moulded Shoe, Alden Shop, etc... )

Still looking for a few good men who are interested in a Kudu Indy on the Modified last.  Please PM if interested.  They will be on the Commando sole if Alden will agree otherwise the cork neo sole.

 

pm inbound
