    I've had that happen twice in my life. If my Aldens are a little roomy I don't sweat it. They could become too small as you get older.

    I need some advice. I have a pair of 405s and am ready to buy another pair. My two choices are the 401 and 403? I’m not sure how versatile the 401 is being black in color. The 403 is a beautiful boot but I have hear stories of it stretching. My 405s fit perfect and would I would not be happy...

    I have some all weather walkers bluchers I bought at Alden DC a few years ago. The left shoe has started making a noise that sounds like a wet tennis shoes walking across smooth tile. The only thing I have noticed is the rubber sole has come loose from the leather sole outside of the stitching...

    Do any of the numbers inside an Alden shoe denote the last and model number? If so is there somewhere I can go to interpret the numbers?

    Just got some new Indy’s in brown. This pair is different from a pair I had 15 years ago. The leather seems smoother, not as reddish and the lining is leather not cloth. Is this normal? I do love them and sizing from 12d to 11.5d worked out perfect. Thanks
