Great thing the J. Crew promo code works for Alden Shoes icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif. Too bad J. Crew won't ship Aldens internationally confused.gif - thought I could order a nice pair of suede Chukkas.

 

Guess I'll have to pay full price when my travels take me to NYC in January.

 

But I am happy for you guys in the US! smile.gif

I had posted a question earlier, if I should return the tobacco LWB from Jcrew and 86 the idea of the snuff suede LWB and get a some cordovan LWB or Boot. Say Cigar or Ravello... Thoughts?

It's just a temporary hold. It'll go away soon and the actual charge won't come through until they ship.
I ordered those #8 LWBs on crepe sole a few weeks ago with an ETA of Dec 5..
The pending charge hung around for a week or so but it's gone now.

Ordered the snuff suede LWBs from J. Crew. They will be my first pair of Aldens so I'm pretty excited.

I wanna take advantage of the 30% off sales and pull the trigger on a pair of JCrew Alden. Can you guys promise not to tell MoL? I signed up in his No Purchase Club till mid December. uhoh.gif

Yea, but if it rains on shell or you get caught in a down pour, yur going to look like an ass because you spent 700 on a pair of shoes that can get wet. Granted I have shell boot and I woun't dare wear them when its wet out... I have the J gilbert and have been caught in the rain and no little bumps or issues.


Overshoes are really easy.

I would never wear a pair of tan bucks, unless I had to go to a warm-weather event where they were appropriate. I almost never have to go to such events, so I don't own a pair. Yet I'm considering getting a pair from J. Crew because at that price, you know, just in case ... Has my Alden sickness really reached such depraved depths? shog[1].gif

I started with the J Crew Tobacco LWB.  Four shell LWBs, two shell PTBs, a shell Cap Toe Boot, and one more calf LWB, and I can't help but look for more!

Was looking at their camel suede buck today. Time to snag them if you can.

I grew up wearing the suede buck.  I jumped all over the Alden for J Crew version with this sale!
