Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Alden. Have picked up 2 pairs of Alden shoes from Leathersoul and looking at adding a navy suede shoe to my Alden collection for spring/summer wear.
Which do you prefer? I have tried out the chukka at my local dealer and like the fit and look. However I also like the LS navy suede short wings, but haven't tried it on to compare. Looking to wear these with jeans and chinos.
Both are pretty unique and sharp in the navy suede.

Care to share your thoughts? I know it does come down to personal preference, but just wanted to get a feel from all you Alden fanatics and to help me finalize my decision.
The cigar captoe is a beautiful shoe. I wish it fit my wide feet or they made it on a Trubalance last. Agree with you, would love this in a shell as well.
Anything similar to the Leffot Naval boot? Looking for a pair of cleaner black shell boots and just want to see what my options are outside of the standard Alden models
I gotta get back to brushing them, I was doing it at like 2 am last night after I got home. Got so tired
I paid about $430 for my suede chukkas. $100 for extra for the blue is a little steep.
i prefer the LS short wings,
Alden DC stocks the cigar captoe boots in an E width. I have wide feet and basically sizing up in E from barrie (I can wear 9.5E/10D in barrie but wear a 10E in grant) worked for me.
What's the best possible deal on a pair of #8 cordovan chukkas? Anything less than retail?

One of those J Crew 25% off coupons where they forget to pull all the Aldens from the site.
It's a crapshoot.
