3 separate wearings on carpet so the shoes aren't stiff when you hit the pavement with them.  Thats what causes the excessive wear on the toe of the sole.  (Stiff shoes on pavement)

It's been discussed previously

I don't disagree with anything you said. However, I submit that some, even after using the Mac method, will experience much more toe wear than Mac does.

Agreed.  It could also be that he has so many pairs in the rotation that each shoe gets worn less than typical Alden owners.  If Mac wears a pair of is shoes once every two weeks, it will have less wear than someone with a pair the same age that is worn twice a week.

Something tells me his rotation permits him to go far longer than 2 weeks between wears. biggrin.gif

I am that guy. I don't know what the Mac method is exactly, but I have an athletic gait, walking with a more pronounced toe off, and the tips of my shoes take beating. I must place taps on all of my shoes, in order to prevent the damage that excessive toe drag brings to beautiful shoes....lol.

^^ I have also noticed that improper sizing can cause issues as well. If the shoe is a bit too long (which can easily happen with the barrie last) it can create excessive dragging and excessive damage to the shoe tip.

HELP!! I've just had candle wax spilled on two pairs of Alden suede shoes. Does anybody know how I can remove it without damaging the suede?

I've read this in multiple places:

Excess can be scraped off with dull knife or spoon. Paper towels pressed on affected area and heat applied by blow dryer may lift wax into paper towel. Heat, however, tends to set dye in colored candles.

Anyways the lil' collection is complete, although I guess I'll always keep out a feeler for a #4... dream #4 shoo would be #4 plaza/grant (or modified for full unicorn) captoe commando sole blind eyelet buuuut not so likely

 

Gorgeous!  I've never been drawn to shell Indys but these have changed my mind.  Thanks for sharing and enjoy wearing.
