COLOR 4 CAPTOE SHELL BOOTS on Barrie last, double leather sole.

Sizes available: 9E, 10D, 10.5D, 11D

Get in on it ASAP.  You can thank me later...

I'm not seeing these on the site. I assume sold out and removed from the inventory system?

I agree with the others as well. I wear a 10D and my Barrie LWBs are 9.5D. They are very comfortable, but I think 9D would definitely be too small.

Damn, that's disappointing. I'm totally confused why Alden won't focus on half sizes for the larger end sizes of the barrie last. Guess my hunt for a nice pair of whiskey longwings must continue :/

Please help convince me that I need the Alden SF PTB in Ravello and not the Cigar. I already have the Cigar LWB and a Cigar Indy on order. Do I need some Ravello in my life? What is the edge trim on the Ravello?

 

I have not seen Ravello first hand. Is it anything like the Cognac shell of the Brunello Cucinelli PTB (beautiful shoe but $2200!)?

 

Thanks

Jason

Awesome!  I'm still without a shell make up.  I need to fix that.  Safe travels.

Thank you, sir!  I am enjoying some of the local water north of the border.  Have a great holiday!

I have shell PTBs in color 8, color 4, ravello, cigar, and black. The ravello PTB is one of my favorites. You should buy them, They are not available very often.

The Alden shell captoe blucher is one of my favorite Alden models. This model is not available in cigar very often.

I have both the Alden for BB black unlined LHS and the color 8. They are my two "go-to" models.

Came home late last night after being gone for 3 days on vacation with the family. My first pair of alden boots were waiting for me on the front porch. Thank you CHRK33.

These are ravello indys on the plaza for frans boone. I love them and YES i'm wearing them to thanksgiving dinner tonight!

That's the good news, the bad ..... I can't believe I missed the color 4 shoemart boots AGAIN.

Bless you if you bought the barrie 10 ds, and please let me know if you have buyers remorse.

I have lots to be thankful for, Happy Thanksgiving.
