The Alden Buy, Sell, Trade (B/S/T) Thread

[audog]

I had that boot in my normal size and couldn't even get my foot in it. It definitely ran tight for me.

Really? I trust you, so maybe I don't need this boot . What I am looking for is a plain toe, or cap toe ALDEN boot in black suede. Sole either leather, Waterloc or commando. Just a rather plain black suede boot. I'm 8.5 in Barrie/TB and Plaza

Yes, for some reason I had a similar experience with my Cooney boots (in snuff suede as well as in #8 shell).

Just curious whether same thing happens on Aberdeen suede moccasins... I have a pair of shell tassel moccasin on 8d, just a little bit large in length. Currently hesitating in whether I should try 7.5d in suede moccasins or not. Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm not the guy to ask, as I have the oddest feet, I wear a 8.5 in damn near every last I have ever tried with Alden, and I Brannock a 9. But you can ask dealers I buy from and I often have to return TTS shoes/boots and go with 1/2 down and I'm good.

Have a pair of AE Caen in black suede, but am looking for a pair of Alden (as I just freakin like Alden footwear better than AE) if anyone has something they might want to sell, let me know.

Yup, I remember it well because it was one of the few times my wife has provided negative feedback on my footwear. As soon as I unboxed she said 'those look like women's boots' because they were so narrow. I'm not big on black shell and I thought these were a great chance to add black to my collection (and I love Alden suede). But try as I might, I could not even get my foot into the boot. It's a very stylish boot but unfortunately they didn't have the larger size I needed so I returned them.

Thanks for sharing this interesting experience sir.

There may be a few options out there in earth chamois as a possible alternative:

Alden x Frans Boone 379x boots in waxed earth reverse chamois

We are sure this one will hit you! An Alden boot based on the last no: 379X aka "Military Last" Military last is a bit like the modified last, it has the same rounded toe box. The heel is slim and the instep regular. The reverse chamois is waxed so don't be afraid of the weather. Made in USA.

Close, but looking for black suede, not earth chamois. It's not urgent (I have plenty of boots), just have a bug for a black suede boot (Alden only, plain or cap toe)

Those boots run pretty snug. You sure 8.5D will work for you?

Yes, for some reason I had a similar experience with my Cooney boots (in snuff suede as well as in #8 shell).

I was excited to receive a pair of 10th Anny Cooney boots in Color 8. Size 9D. SUPER tight compared to my other footwear of the same size and last. Likely need to unload mine since I've only worn them twice as a result.

Big Price Slashes to fund a purchase! Buy them from me!! Three Aldens, Size 8.5-9

Album of all Alden shoes:

Maker/Model: Alden 3554 Slip-On Loafer in Mocha Kid Sue


Pair2 ---------------
Alden D6808 Plain Toe Boot in Tan Country Calf
Size: 9D
Tan Country Calf
$220 SHIPPED
Bought these off here, never wore them besides trying them on. Trying to give them back now for the same price I got them for. Strangely, even though these are TruBalance they fit snugger than my Indy's. Also, I don't know if I enjoy pebbling too much.

Pair3 ---------------

Alden 401 Indy Boot in Black Cowhide
Size: 8.5C
$240 SHIPPED
Wears/Condition: 9/10
Notes:Bought second hand, I already have a pair of Indy's that fit a bit better so I'm selling these

Pair4 ---------------
Alden 2160 Straight Tip Blucher in Color #8 Shell Cordovan
Size: 9D
$275 SHIPPED
Wears/Condition: 8.5/10

Notes: Uppers in perfect condition. Selling because I'm no longer working in an office and like wearing boots more!

Indy's sold, reselling Country Calf Plain Toe Boots for what I paid for (too snug) and Color #8 PTBs still for sale!

Alden 9741 black shell wingtip balmoral 8E Tremont last
preowned

Bought these on eBay for 350(shipping tax incl.) and found the size larger as I expected (never tried Tremont last before). As these are balmoral so sizing are not flexible as derby. Finally decided to let them go.

Asking 300USD net to me shipped in US

280 shipped within US
