SOLD. Gents,

I am selling a beautiful pair of pre-owned Alden Color 8 Shell Cordovan Longwing Bluchers (LWB) in size 8D on the Barrie last. These are beautiful shoes, with their fantastic antique edges and deep #8 shell cordovan glow.

These shoes are in excellent pre-owned condition. They have only been worn three times. There are minor nicks on the uppers and some creasing on the vamps. The double leather soles have light wear. Please note, these shoes tend to "bloom," a normal feature of shell cordovan where the shoes develop a white film when stored. The white film is actually the natural oils in the shell cordovan rising to the surface - simply brush or buff the bloom into the shoes and they will develop an even richer and deeper patina and shine. These shoes are first quality, purchased from Bureau Belfast in Northern Ireland last year. I am only selling because I need to downsize my shoe collection - my loss is your gain! The original Alden shoe box and dust bags are included. Shoe trees (by Allen Edmonds, pictured in the photos) are included. Please know your size in the Alden Barrie last, as there are absolutely no returns.

$549 including shipping. I ship to the USA only. No returns.

Please PM with any questions - thank you!
