I passed on the TSM Ravello tankers but now regret it - in light of their imminent arrival: if anyone got a 8.5D and wants to pass them on, please drop me a line

If it's your first pair, be advised that the Trubalance last runs 1/2 size larger than most. Many, if not nearly all wear Indys at 1/2 smaller than TTS/

My three pairs: (pix taken today except the ones where I'm wearing them. The light kinda sucked...)

Snuff Perf Captoes. Hampton Last - 12D (size at 12D Brannock for me) - Nice condition, probably 20 or so wears.

$225 shipped/pp'd

Brown CXL Dovers. Barrie Last - 11.5D (size at 12D Brannock for me) - Nice condition, probably 10 or less wears. Has some CXL grain showing - looks better in-person than the pix.

$275 shipped/pp'd

Snuff suede wingtip boots (B+M). Barrie Last - 11.5D (size at 12D Brannock for me) - These are in very goodcondition, but do have some whatever the suede equivalent of break is for suede. I wear these very casually with denim mostly, and it's fine for me, but is something to note. I've worn these a fair bit - they were my second pair of Aldens - and I'm hating the idea of selling them.

$275 shipped/pp'd

Bumping for interest. Will list them on eBay at some point, but would prefer to keep them in the family, as it were.

WTB 9.5E Trubalance. Anything but Indy boot, I have too many pairs already. Although I'll consider interesting makeups(can't resist).

Also 10D. Looking for indy shoe or chukka too.

Today I offer a personal favorite from the collection, and they are boots that demand to be worn. Originally from AoC, these WTBs on the barrie last are long discontinued. I have worn them sparingly and I had the famous cobbler-house, Jim's in Manhattan, install brass hardware for that extra panache and to perfect the aesthetic. This was an additional $200 or so out of my pocket. My sunk cost is your gain.

Makeup: Discontinued WTB from AOC
Leather: Black Horween Shell Cordovan
Last: Barrie
Size: 10D
Condition/Wears: Excellent condition as depicted in pictures below, worn ~3-4, always stored with boot trees. Haven't been worn this year.
Price: $570 shipped with insurance, tracking, and signature via Venmo/Paypal , final sale. Add $30 for the box (to account for the higher shipping cost due to the weird Alden box dimensions and USPS box sizes). Boot trees not included.

I'm open to offers if you're keen to get these into your stable!

I sold some other Alden shell in this thread a couple of weeks ago so I have positive history here.

Album:


I also have some unworn green shell shoes from Carmina if that's your thing, just DM me!
