Gents -- regrettably I need to slim down my collection, and so, I am offering a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful collection, all at once, to the right buyer who wears a size 8/8.5. I’m respectfully firm on my price of $8,000 for all 14 pairs below, and I am not splitting up the lot at this time. I will include the original boxes and bags, but no shoe trees are included. I can provide photos next week via PM if desired. I trust that folks on here know me and know that I take very good care of my shoes.

Hi all,

Selling a pair of vintage deadstock unworn saddles in a burgundy / brown calf leather scotch grain. Barrie last. 11 A / C. Asking $249 plus $15 for shipping.

The shoes are really nice. I picked them up on eBay about a month or so ago. But I am trying to be disciplined about keeping the rotation lean...

Don’t hesitate to pm me with questions.

Thanks, AHS

It's amazing to me, the Alden B/S/T thread gets lots of traction, but I have pairs of things that just languish on the Grant Stone B/S/T thread. AE thread is similar to GS.....We Alden fans know a good product and aren't afraid to deal I guess.

Yeah, GS resale is not great

 

[JoeRogan]

When you start cheap there’s pretty much nowhere to go but down

Funny, as they are good footwear, and built like little tanks.

That is a problem, I have a number of pair (would like to get rid of all the micro stud sole things) and will sell them really cheap.....but......

 

[JoeRogan]

Yeah they’re kind of so cheap there isn’t much point in selling them because it’s so little return. But on the other hand, any money in your pocket is probably better than a pair that’s not worn taking up space

They are taking up space, and I have found that when I wear the micro stud sole, I wake up the next morning with incredible lower back pain. Podiatrist has said it's probably the footwear...no issues with Alden Commando, or GS leather....so out go the micro stud (Dainite-ish) soles....even if I have to just park them in a box in the basement. But I'd rather sell them at a substantial loss, to someone who will wear them.
