I am selling a pair of Alden Ravello longwings, sized 10D. They were purchased from Leffot earlier this year and worn under 10 times. I found myself wearing some other shoes (ravello tassels, cigar longwings, RL shortwings, etc) more than these, but these are an excellent pair of Alden cordovans and someone should make better use of them. They have been cared for using shoe trees and the "Mac Method" (wiping down with a damp cloth, brushing, etc). I have also used Saphir Renovateur on the shoes a few times.
Alden's Barrie last is generally 1/2 size longer than a standard shoe - so if you normally wear a 10.5 in brands like Allen Edmonds, Ferragamo, Johnston and Murphy, these 10D longwings will fit you.
In addition, ravello cordovan is increasingly rare, so if you want a ravello longwing, this is a great opportunity. This ravello pair is on the lighter side of ravello, giving the shoe a light reddish/orangish hue (some ravello pairs appear darker red/brown).
I am charging $500 for these shoes, which generally go for over $700 at retail. Shipping in the US is included in the price - I will charge for shipping internationally. Payment will be done through PayPal. I
styleforum members get a first crack at these shoes - they go on ebay on Saturday morning.
PM me with any questions.
