Shipped from Hong Kong?  The Chinese are finally doing something with all the Horween shell they bought.

At this price don't forget the free "boom boom" that comes with every pair! It's all about the packaging.

See Ya,
Steve

Reminds me of the 2007 housing bubble.

With people getting loan to buy shoes that they could not afford.

Those are the ones Uncle. Very nice!

nephew,
thank you

+1, I'm giving up deep fried foods, fast food, and red meat for the next month.  That should get me to my ideal weight.  Hoping to reward myself also with some shell.  It's a deal my friend!

nephew,
we will be rooting for you

 

[mcarthur]



These are IMO among your best Aldens Uncle.

nephew,
thank you

 

[sevenfoldtieguy]



are you ******* kidding me? is this for real? I remember it being around $670 with a half day left

Something doesn't seem right about this. $1,317 is perhaps believeable, but $3,317??

Uncle, thank you... I'm wanting to wear my Aldens in great health!

If any of you wear barrie size 9D, rl_store has some great stuff in that size... PTB's (whiskey), Black shell LWBs, J Crew Perf Captoe Boots, Cigar chukkas, etc... You should check them out. Looks like rl_store is a great seller.

Here's one...

Happy hunting my friends!

For $3k+ I would sell any single pair of Aldens I own. I can be patient and wait for a re-stock as well as fund about 4 or 5 other pairs

That's the same seller who sold the color 4 chukkas last month. He's got some great stuff, I'm glad he's not my size. I would have been a player on the chukkas if they were my size.

I have had nothing but good experiences with rl_store. However, my purchases have been non-Alden.

I am still bummed I lost out on those. I was high bidder until the final seconds

Not totally Alden, but if you ever wanted to see someone assemble a Goodyear welt shoe totally by hand, this video is worth a look. It's a bit over the top IMO but that's Visvim for you:

I wish to seek forum member advice on sizing. I am a 11D on the LWB (Barrie) and 11.5D on the NST (Aberdeen) and Perf cap toe (Hampton). What size do you think I should order for tassel loafers (Aberdeen again). I thank you for your words your advice.
