Alden “Back to Basics” Boot

[smartbrother]

I’ve been unable to find a color 8 plain toe boot with all eyelets on a leather sole. So I reached out to Mack at Brogue to see if he would order the following boot:

Color 8 Plain Toe Boot
Trubalance Last
Unlined Tongue
Structured toe
9 blind eyelets
No quarter stitching
360 antique flat welt
Antique edge dressing
Double waterlock sole

I have a thread going over on r/goodyearwelt with some q&a.

If you’d be interested in purchasing this boot, please let me know below or by PM. We just need 6 people and Mack will place the order.

Looking at March 2020 for delivery. Cost TBD, but typical for shell makeups without hand stitching.

I may be interested if they can do a 14.

Is this unlined?

 

[smartbrother]

It is lined except for the tongue. I’ll check on size. 14D?

Yes indeed! Thanks!

Yes indeed! Thanks!

Unfortunately, only up to size 13.

Dang.
