    Cordovan will get lighter in sunlight. However, the shell has usually been tanned to the dark colour for a reason: to hide imperfections and blemishes. The lighter colour will reveal these spots. Here's an article from Horween on the subject: [link]

    Modified does but you will have a ***** of a time getting it fitted. Thank you. Does most Alden stores in the US carry this last? I can't find them here in Norway, but I'm hoping to get over to NY some time this year.

    I know I am being a hypocrite here, but here goes: Does Alden carry a last which has more width in the forefoot, and less at the heel? 11D in barrie/trubalance works for me, but I think my true size would be a 10.5 B/E. Would a different last fit better? Modified perhaps?

    I know people get a little miffed by sizing questions here, but I'd appreciate some advice. I have a pair of Alden Longwings on the Barrie last in 10D which fit perfectly. They are calfskin. Until I got orthodics. Now they are a bit tight. Pinch the outside toes a little. And a little...

    Am I the only one that find the commando soles looking a little imbalanced? The heel just looks so clunky compared to the rest of the sole. I would think a double sole, half rubber half leather (like they do on the indy, except with a commando sole instead of the neoprene), would look better. I...
