For sale is a pair of Alden Color 8 Pebble Grain Shell Cordovan LHS (Leisure Handsewn) Penny Loafers in size 8D on the Van last. These are Alden style #6755 and are now discontinued as Alden no longer uses Pebble Grain Shell Cordovan. These will not be made again and are exceptionally rare. Based on the production codes and the box, I believe these are from 1992. While they are worn, they are beautiful and extremely rare.

They have been worn a good amount, so there are rolls in the vamps, scuffs on the uppers, and wear on the soles. I believe the outsole has been replaced with a waterloc outsole by Lakota House in Japan. The heel pads also appear to have been replaced. There are some small cracks in the shell on the rear upper heel bindings. I spoke to Nick Horween (of Horween Leather, the tannery who makes the shell cordovan used on these shoes), and he advised that it is unlikely to get worse if a shoe horn is used when putting on the shoes. There is also a small tear under the penny where the topline attaches to the penny, and the stitching is fraying. The insoles and linings are also worn. Please see photos for current condition.

They come with the original Alden green box and Alden shoe bags. (The Alden tote bag is not included.) I cannot accept returns, so please know your size. Sold as-is. Shipping to the USA only.

$275 shipped.

For sale is a pair of Alden Black Shell Cordovan Plain Toe Boots in size 8D on the Trubalance last. These were purchased from Ealdwine and have been worn twice. They feature a waterloc sole, brass hardware, and are extremely comfortable. There are some rolls on the uppers and minor scuffs/marks from wear.

They come with the original Alden green box and Alden shoe bags. (The Alden tote bag is not included.) I cannot accept returns, so please know your size. Sold as-is. Shipping to the USA only.

Unsurprising, all of my Alden exotics are either sold or unavailable. I do have some pretty good deals on some new black and well-cared for, C8's. So as not to muck up the thread, here's the ebay links.....

  1. Alden x Ealdwine C8 Plaza Wings - 8.5E
  2. Alden x Brooks Brothers C8 Aberdeen Full Straps - 9D
  3. Crockett & Jones Brown/Cigar Lindricks - stamped size 8E
  4. Alden x Ealdwine New Black Hampton Shell V-tips - 9D
  5. Alden C8 Chukka - Barrie - 8.5D
  6. Alden x Citishoes flat welt C8 NST - Barrie - 8.5D
Will ship domestically for free and discount by 10% if purchased through SF before bids received. Also, similar to my Ravello Barrie/Aberdeen splits, only one of the Wings listed in numbers 1 and 3 are available. Once one sales, the other becomes unavailable. Respectfully not entertaining offers at this point.

Alright, since I’m staring at a few possible grail shoe purchases I *need* to move some of the collection to fund them (or customs will have lots of things to say about it).

First, size 8D scotch grain Indys from the Brogue shop. TruBalance last. I’m selling these very reluctantly because it took me a while to hunt them down. $400 shipped to US.

Second, 8D Van lasted Moc toe boots. Super soft calf. These came leather sole and all eyelets. Added speed hooks and vibram lug sole protectors. You’ll want to replace the laces. (Original laces tore the first time they got wet). Asking $300 shipped.

Finally, 8D Plaza last Indy boots from Style by Blaine. The now discontinued brown country calf, commando soles. Worn less than half a dozen times. Just not my size (which kills me). Original box and shoe trees included. $375 shipped.

Price drop for this week. I've been mandated "sell some or don't buy anymore."
Scotch grain Indys from Brogue: $325 shipped.
Van Moc toes: $250 shipped
Plaza Indy's: $325 shipped (with trees, bags, and original box!)
