The Official Alden Thread for 2017 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.
Finally got my first pair of Alden and, not coincidentally, first pair of shell yesterday - 975 #8. Wore them for a couple hours, sitting at my desk and a little bit of walking. Question for those with more shell experience - there are two small spots where a flake of something (finish...- 3lilnags

Samuelsohn Suit on sale?
I bought 4 Samuelsohn suits from off5th a few months ago for around 300/each. I was very hesitant when I ordered the first one, but I emailed samuelsohn and they confirmed they were full canvas, plus the same suits in limited sizes were still on the main saks site on sale. They appear to be...- 3lilnags

I would return them. I have seen it that pronounced on a couple AE. I returned both of them (one first, one second). On one a layer in the heel was a different thickness, in the other the shoe just seemed to be warped. I have a pair of brooks Warwick seconds where it is very slight on one...- 3lilnags

The picture, order, and tag said "black" but the description on the web was graphite. One of the thirds is black, one has some grey ghosting, the other has these grey trackmarks. I will likely never buy black shell shoes, so it is a luxury item. After seeing how perfect the Bordeaux was...- 3lilnags

Received the brown burnished dundees from the clearance sale. Probably the nicest pair of firsts I have purchased directly from AE. They are very dark, but in the right light you can see a little brown under all the burnishing. I don't mind the poron in these. I was unsure when I ordered, but I...- 3lilnags

Thank you - that is kind of how I was leaning, but by the time I stopped dilly-dallying and working and went to order, the chili-macs were gone, so the decision made itself. Just as well, maybe my gunboat is meant to be shell. I did pick up the black and burgundy clearance shell belts...- 3lilnags

I could use some advice regarding the sale. My current collection is below, I have been considering the MacNeil in chili or the Dundee in brown leather, interested to hear where you would spend the money if it was yours. I prefer to stick to firsts, as my luck with 2nds isn't great (really...- 3lilnags

Send them back. I have a pair with one that looks like that from the back (BB walnut strand seconds). It bothers me when wearing - the only shoe within my ~10 pairs that gives me a hellish blister and is painful to walk for any distance in. I didn't notice it until I had worn it out of the house.- 3lilnags

I tried the Cornwallis on two occasions in different stores, had hoped it would keep me from buying a the Alfred Sargent Moore. It felt like someone was standing there kicking my little toe in my 65 size. I asked for a few different sizes/widths, but the rep just basically told me to give...- 3lilnags

Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread
A question for those with far more experience in the shoe game. I have been coveting a pair of AS Moore since I started wearing better shoes a bit over a year ago. I have purchased 9 pairs of AE, with some poor quality pairs along the way - but their customer service has been great and they are...- 3lilnags

That happened to my McAllisters with the cleaner/conditioner (posted a few pages back) in the same exact spot. On the great advice here, I contacted AE and they sent a return label to have them sent back. I would do the same for this. Disappointing that the leather lotion does this as...- 3lilnags

Stupid question of the day. New pair of mcallisters. Wore them once on carpet, they fit well so I started to condition them (AE conditioner/cleaner) and planned to use nuetral polish. The conditioner cleaner took off some of the finish - is this something that will blend with walnut polish, or...- 3lilnags

It's a walnut world that we live in First wear for another fortunate find for the blessed D widths at Bloomingdales. There is slightly less burnishing on the left shoe in person, but otherwise perfect. For 160 they would have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. My fifths, on the other...- 3lilnags

That is a bummer. Figured you might be a D width if you fit in the BBs. The warwicks are why I bought the fifth, justifying it as a "need" to get another Dainite sole, it worked on my wife. I have the bourbon strand in Dainite, strandmok, now the fifth. That way I will have an easy rotation...- 3lilnags

I loved the BB Warwick in dark chili. I went through 2-3 seconds after finally giving up, I couldn't find a pair that would stay on. Glad you found a pair that worked for you. On the strands - you can get them for $240 right now on Bloomingdales with the SHOP25 and the buy more save more...- 3lilnags

It always Wednesday somewhere, or it will be soon. Breaking in my new $160 carlyles today. No watch, no coffee, as all money was spent on shoes. 2 carlyles, strandmok, and Mcallister from Bloomingdales, Dainite chili fifth from the anniversary sale last week. No more denying that it has become...- 3lilnags

Similar problem. A pair of chili Dainite fifths from AE that I previously convinced her I "needed", then 5 pairs from Bloomingdales that I bought yesterday (black and walnut carlyles, walnut Mcallister, brown strandmok, plus a pair of black carlyles for my brother). Zero chance of hiding...- 3lilnags
