For sale is a pair of size 8D Alden ravello cordovan longwings. I purchased these from the Leffot store in the past year and they retailed for north of $700 (incl. taxes) then. These shoes are in excellent condition and they have been cared for using cedar shoe trees and the "Mac Method" (wiping down with a clean cloth, brushing and buffing with a soft cloth, etc.). I have worn these beauties exactly TWICE (to wedding receptions) and figure someone should make better use of them.

These longwings are on Alden's Barrie last which is generally half a size longer than a standard shoe size. They have double leather soles.

As noted by Leffot, Leather Soul, other Alden retailers and members of this forum, ravello cordovan shell is increasingly rare at the moment and waiting time for the arrival of ravello make-ups will be exceedingly long. So this is a great opportunity to cop a hardly-used ravello longwing.

I am charging $550 for these longwings (Alden shoe box and cloth shoe bags included). Shipping in the U.S. is included in the price - I will charge for shipping internationally. Payment will be done through Paypal.

I have not sold any items on this forum yet, but I do have a 100% positive feedback rating as a buyer/seller on eBay, under the registered name of "nyresjudicata." Please PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Wow, I cannot explain how happy my wallet is that these are half a size too big for me.
Best of luck on the sale!
