Quick question: If I take a size 7 for Clarks Desert boots, what should I go for with Alden sizing? I ask because there's no place in Montreal I know that sells them, so I am forced to go online.
Help this Alden n00b, who very much desires to be initiated!
This question is going to be impossible to answer perfectly. Alden uses many different lasts and for many people they fit differently. Also, you might fit in a 7 with Clarks for many different reasons. These reasons would need to be compensated for with your Alden sizing.
You best bet would be to get a general idea from the forums and order a few/bunch of sizes from a retailer with a liberal return policy. Shoemart would be one choice. Also, Brooks Brothers sells a number of Aldens in Shell Cordovan. Some of their versions are identical to the like Alden styles, while others are IMO better looking.
