Also, since the cork hasn't taken an impression of my foot yet, my heel is really high up in the shoe, causing the back of the shoe to not come high up enough on the back of my heel.
I also have the Brooks Brothers black cordovan hand sewn loafers, and while many insist they are the same shoe, rebranded, I am quite certain that they are not. I'll post pics once my camera charges, but the BBs didn't have any problems breaking in. Also, the tongue on the Aldens is stitched and it is not stitched on the BBs. Maybe at one time they were the same, but both of my pairs are less than a year old, and I'm pretty sure they are different. Also, i'm a 9.5D (TTS) in the BB and 9C in the Aldens.

This is really quite humorous - unintended, I'm sure. But humorous... We anxiously await your camera re-charge.
