FS : Alden Plaza Boot Cordovan No.8 Size 10

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 
This wonderful boot I am sad to say , goodbye to.

I absolutely love this boot, but it is a tad bit loose for me and it does bother me about that.

This is my first boot ever, and I may not understand the sizing or fit of boots, but it is awkward for me to walk in a boot that I think should fit more a full 10D-10.5 D foot.

I wore these 4 times .

First time, to church at night. Was overcast was slightly drizzling that night.
I was not outside too long though. Mostly indoors.

Second time, to the mall. South coast plaza on a dry day. I then went to Newport beach Fashion Island where I met Hillary Freeman who commented on my boots saying "they are so lovely!"

Third time, I dont remember, but it was for some occasion. (please note, i dont wear these out for daily chores running errands, as it takes a while to put these on for me. I like to loosen all the laces through each eyelet before placing them on my feet. i am meticulous like that).

Fourth time , to church again. Dry day.

THe shoe are from LeatherSoul. Who is the perfect example of customer service and business to me.
Boots were $595 for me . I got the Alden Shoe trees seperately.


Boots are basically new. Worn 4 times. I am a meticulous character. I dont abuse or am ignorant on how to care and maintain shoes. The boots need a simple wipe down with a damp cloth. that is it. no need for lotions or polishes , or creams constantly . this is cordovan.

Thick cordovan. Thick double sole. Beautiful wingtip boot.

Yours for only $495. I will include the Alden shoe trees which are basically new as well.
I will include a bottle of Alden no 8 wax jar.

Thank you.
Please be a FULL size 10 D or a (10.5 D for a snugger fit).Depending on how you like the fit in boots. I am a 9.5 E US and these are a bit loose, but not sure if that is how you wear boots, but for me , I am not used to it.

That's an amazing deal. It makes me sad that I won't be able to get a pair of my own until next year.

Hear, hear Shoe is truly amazing. For all those that are selling shoes that they say were worn once or twice, or whatever. They should have to annotate each wearing as shoe has done. shoe should have estimated a total time of each wearing though. Something like "first wearing of 53 minutes from 2:53 PM to 3:46PM while walking to store on pavement. Atmospheric conditions were normal with slight overcast and no precipitation". And finally, the type of socks worn with each wearing should be noted. shoe, you are the best BTW: Great boots. Your stuff is aways very nice and a real value.

You know I'm kidding, I leave feedback usually after I have a total of 20 or so trans. that way I can do it all in one shot. I'll leave you feedback later today.
