I'm currently working on a new pair of Alden for BB LHS's (unlined). They are an 8.5E and I'm a 9.25E generally. Length is perfect, but my high instep is giving me a bit of grief. They are getting better with each wearing, however. It's a known issue - just Google Alden LHS tight or Alden LHS stretch and you will get a good number of threads on Ask Andy. The consensus seems to be that the shoes will eventually become wonderful - so we'll see.

use the method for breaking in shoes. from my experience shell stretchs,if any, very minimally

Beautiful chukkas, aging nicely and that's quite a shine. And with corduroy trousers. It all does look very relaxed indeed. Thanks for the photo.

Thanks; the chukkas look so good because of this stuff:

Almost certainly #8. this is the epaulet brixton boot.
is there another seconds list floating around? They've been great about sending me mine in the past but i have not received one today...

+1 this looks just like my #8 Brixton boot. If this is going for anything less than retail, definitely pull the trigger, whether they say it's Color 4, Color 8, or Color 80. I got the seconds e-mail last time too but I haven't seen anything yet today either. Have a lot of others seen a new seconds e-mail today?

The most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned... man I cannot get enough of these!

Poena, I'd send them back due to the indents and speed hook.

I was wondering, is there such a make-up as a Chukka with a commando sole? Calfskin or Shell?
Thanks.

Check out Alden of Carmel. Website says they have some in stock of both shell and calf.

Hi all. New here and in pursuit of my first pair of Alden's.

I primarily want a pair to wear with a suit, but like the rugged look of some of the boots.

What would you all recommend/ feel is your most versatile pair of dress orientated Alden's?

Cheers.

welcome to the forum! i would not go for a boot but would go with either color 8 lwb or color 8 ptb
