One day after bemoaning the Alden price hike I came upon these great deals. Alden calf shoes for $255.

Wow thanks for the link. Any easy to follow tips on sizing? Say compared to AE.

I'd suggest seeing what the last is for the shoe you're interested in and doing a search. Some Alden last run more or less true to size, and some run a full half-size large (that is, I'm normally an 11.5 but take an 11 in some Aldens).

Alden of Carmel has a description of the fit of various lasts that I find accurate for sizing Barrie and Van lasts vs. the Aberdeen. I have no experience with their other recommendations. Here is the site:

Hmm the brown suede bals look tempting, but many others recommend C&J or J.M. Westons instead. I can see why, the Hampton last doesn't look quite as elegant. Are the Aldens worth it at $255 ?

The brown suede bals are not reduced.

My first post ever... hope I am doing this right. Anyway, you guys should check out - shermanbrothers.com. They have a pretty nice selection of aldens, and regulalry give 10% off. Doesn't sound like much, but it can add up when you're spending $500+ on their cordovan line.

It is definitely the calf, no the suede.

I wish their pics were a bit better, I have a pair of the perf caps which I absolutely love but would never buy them looking at the pics they offer.
