Those were probably the most comfortable Alden shoe ever. Extra soft soles and soft padded linings. I had them in loden green myself. We sold them in white and tan suede in the past.

Congrats on the baby girl!! On a far less serious - yet still important - note, congrats also on the ravello ptb's. They are one of my favorite Alden shells.

Congratulations on the baby!

May I ask where you picked up the ravello's?

not everyone has perfect feet. there are gentlemen that need to wear the modified last or orthopedic last because of their feet. in addition there are gentlemen who like the look. good people can agree to disagree

What's the story on these? I just checked the JCrew website and did not see them. Are they coming out soon?

I love the red brick soles. They are comfortable and look great. My only problem is that they seem to wear pretty fast.
