Yes, I bought a pair from Tassels Hong Kong. Here's the link: http://www.tassels.com.hk/en/made_to_order_details.php?id=91

google search 'duckie brown navy cordovan.' its the first hit. I know because I have been trying to find a pair in 11.5 or 12. I have their ravello version (horween cordovan) and they look better than the Alden lab on the Barrie; sleekerquote name="CHRK33" url="/t/85589/the-official-alden-thread-supported-by-leather-soul/16020#post_4829315"]

Would you guys pay $240 for a pair of Alden's that have been used for a year? Honestly, I'm just looking for some advice, since I'm completely new to Alden shoes, and don't know if I'd be getting ripped off by picking these up at $240.

Owned for less than a year and haven't been worn that extensively cause they are too slim for me. There is one nick on the toe area of the right shoe and the area behind the tongue is a little sticky because I stuck a pad on it so my foot would stop sliding as much. Doesn't affect the shoe at all. Shoes were $450 retail.

If it's a style that I am looking for or like, I would. Not this one.

That's tempting. If I wear a 7.5B on the Hampton what do you think I'd wear on the Plaza? I have a pair of the Alden for BB wingtip balmorals on the M68 (I think) last in size 7D - Alden said they should fit like the Plaza. They're the correct length, but a bit too wide. Do you have any Plaza sizing tips Tom?

i always assumed and learn from experience that both the hampton last and plaza last fit the same. the A of C shoe chart agrees with my conclusion
