Anyone ever have J Crew cancel an Alden order placed during one of these sales, or have they honored their price?

I got my Chukkas just fine with my 25% code off, though the code was privately given and not a publicly announced.

Customer Service Note

 

I was having a horrible problem with my black calf NSTs from Moulded Shoe.  They had a VERY loud squeaking problem.  I sent them back to Moulded shoe, but they were unable to correct the problem.  I considered my options and decided to send them back to the Alden factory.  Alden called me the same day that they received the shoes.  The agent apologized for the issue and promised that they would "make it right".  He quoted a four week turn around to repair the shoes.

 

I just received them, three weeks later.  Alden did a full re-sole and refinished the uppers and put new laces on.  The shoes look great, and they are as quiet as quiet as can be.  I must say that Alden has been very good to me.  This is the second issue they have helped me with so far.  No fuss.  And no charge for the services.

As they should, you've bought so many pairs this year!

 

But seriously, I'm glad they were able to correct the issue, and pleased to hear that they cared enough to do so.

And I haven't even started with Alden shell!  I suspect I'll be adding a few more pairs to the stable!

I understand that shell shoes can have different colors, and my new whiskey shoes have slight different tints. Should I be concerned about the coloring within the white box?

Thanks!

I got a pair of indy 405's today, and have a question. I had the jcrew indy's in 8d , and they were too big, so I got the 405 in 7.5 but the inside says 7.5 B/D . Are they all like this ?

Looks like a problem with the piping. if the piping finish is cracked then i would send them back, if just color then no big deal.

Don't like #8 in general?
Or just the #8 LWB?

Can't speak for stevent but I'm not in love with #8 as much as everyone else is. I prefer a straight dark brown with no red tint over it.

#8 in general. Have bought the two LWB, LHS, captoe boot and returned / sold all of them. #8 just doesn't look good in my opinion. Much rather wear brown shades with jeans vs. burgundy and if I am more dressed up then black or brown shoes

Glad to hear you were able to get your issue resolved in such a timely fashion.

 

Also great to hear that they stand behind they're product and provided such outstanding customer support.

Any ideas which shell versions you'll be going for first?
