Hm, that toe doesn't look like the Plaza toe either. It looks like a Barrie last with a special order toe. I saw something like this last year at the NYC Alden store.

Where did it come from?

Yup - NYC Alden store, special order for the store.

Z, the Alden looks absolutely wonderful. It looks like the Plaza last to me, perhaps Bengal-stripes can chime in. I wonder, beside Carmel Fan shoes, how many special edition designs are out there. I know Shoemart of Norwalk CT has some special exclusive designs. I can see why Alden has such cult followings in Germany and Japan.

Yup, those Aldens are on the Plaza last.

In case you're not being facetious, you already have: Post #605, a few pages back, in this very topic.

Too bad these Aldens do not come with oversized tassels with little silver bells on them.

My modest contribution to this thread. Just got these in the mail today: SF Tramezza Gherardo in Caffe Suede Calf.

Very lovely. How do they fit?
