I can probably pick up a new pair of Alden model 691s, Black calfskin. They are brand new store models with no wear and no bags & box. Unfortuneately they are a size 10&1/2 E and I'm an11D. They are exactly like the picture below. They retail for $344 and we know that Alden seldom goes on sale. If someone definitely wants them PM me and I'll try to pick them up for $99 which is my cost, and I'll sell them for the same $99 plus shipping. Please don't say you are interested unless you are sure since they are not my size and I wouldn't otherwise buy them.

Anybody want me to try to get these New Alden 691s for them. $99 plus shipping is a great price.

They're a size 10&1/2 E.

I'm an 11D and I'm hesitant to get the Aldens for myself since I regretted getting AE Graysons in a 10&1/2 E

BTW: The AE 10&1/2 E Graysons are for sale. See the link below:

Hello,

I purchased a pair of these in 10.5 once and found that they opened up a LOT. These will stretch out. I am a 10.5 in other shoes and I am a 9.5 (thin socks) and 10 (normal socks) in these.

Thanks oscar, but it's moot now. No one responded quick enough and the Aldens are now gone, and I didn't buy them. I was just trying tp pass on a good deal to an SF member. I still have the AE Grayson, same size listed, for $45 OBO. They are the same size and are mint. See the link below.
