Hello -

My introduction to Alden was, like many others, the Indy boot.

But then I found the Alden thread here. And then I saw the beauty of shell cordovan and the patina it develops. And then I understood why #8 is king.

And then I bought my #8 captoe boots on the Grant last with Commando soles. A fantastic fall/winter/spring boot.

But I managed two (maaaybe three... I remember two) wears of these and they deserve a better home. I'm fairly unique in that I think I prefer non-shell shoes and boots for my lifestyle and these don't get enough wears as they should.

Style: 4060 with Commando sole
Size: 12.5D
Last: Grant

Retail was $690 + shipping/tax, I believe.

I will ship with original green Alden box and shoe bags. Shoe trees not included.

Drop to $450. Great price on great boots. Hoping to sell shortly and will put it on eBay soon if I can't move it here.
