Anatomica has an order pending confirmation for a ravello PT boot. You can ask them if they something in your size coming in.

Leffot said that they won't take more pre-orders as they don't know when more Ravello shells are being made - does anyone know other pre-order etc going on?
I've apparently got a nasty completionist streak that these shoes just wake up in me.

Trying to decide between the J Crew #8 Cap Toe boot and the #8 Wingtip Boot (both with double leather sole). Any thoughts? If it helps, I do have color LWB.
I have the wing boot and while it's obviously gorgeous, I sort of regret not going for cap toe instead now that I've shifted my style a bit. I suppose it depends on what you normally wear.

If you have a #8 LWB and don't have a #8 cap toe blucher, I'd go for the #8 cap toe boot. If you choose the wingtips, just make sure you'll get enough use out of them. For cap toe boots, I might also throw in this one from TSM:
Just in from TSM, took a huge gamble on sizing since I didn't get to try them on in-person before purchase. Rather I went with word of mouth and got the same size as my barrie size.
As it turns out, these are the best fitting Aldens I have. Crease in the vamp is from trying on

Personally, I would choose (and have chosen) the captoe. And a different post mentioned the captoe from TSM on the Grant (which I have) and the captoe from JGilbirt on the Plaza. Either of these captoe boots will have a slimmer presentation than the JCrew captoe on the Barrie; however, the JCrew boot is the only one of the 3 that has a perf tip (if that matters to you).

Nice man. I'd have to agree that the Shell LHS on the Van is one of my favorite Aldens

Another option is Alden of DC's #8 captoe boot on the grant last with commando sole.
I PM'd Che from Alden of DC and he reserved a 10D of their thor cigar perf-captoe makeup that's scheduled for Spring 2013. If you're interested in getting in on it it's worth sending him a PM to see if your size is available.
