A bit of disappointment today. My first pair of shell which I ordered as part of a group preorder in February was finally completed. Unfortunately my pair was deemed defective and Alden apparently doesn't remake special orders. Looks like I will be shell-less for a few months more.

I was fortunate enough to receive one of the latest shipments of Cigar captoes from Alden DC! This is my first pair of shell so I'm not really familiar with it. They make a ton of noise when I walk from various parts rubbing against one another - I'm assuming that will go away with time? Is there a way to make it go away faster?
Congrats on the new boots. Got any pics in the sunlight? How's the shade on this recent run. I got an email on them (after an over 2 year wait) and I might actually be passing on them. If they somewhat lighter than they have been or possibly had some olive tones I might have to reconsider.
^TIA. This Is Alden.
The quality control is not very good. Some will make excuses. I will not.
Congrats, those are amazingly beautiful. Enjoy your new boots!In the midst of moving; giving me a chance to WFH today. My new [to me] Alden x Unionmade Ravello Kirkwood Boots

Those look amazing Z! Nice showing of the 4!
Ha, looking good chippy! I have a pair from that run as well...These are my new favorites.. LHS's of course..
I regret to hear that! It's a bummer, but sadly it happens. Contact Ed at ShoeMart and see if you can catch it from there if they get sold as Factory Defects. -MikeA bit of disappointment today.

Color 8 and Cigar Captoe boots enjoying some sunshine.
Thinking I might have too many pairs of captoe boots, and would be better served by having a wingtip color 8 boot, but really don't want to part with either of them.
My brannock is between an 11.5 and a 12 - leans 12. I'm a solid 12 in all TTS boots/shoes I've tried. I have a high-ish arch/instep, but not crazy. I'm the wide side of D.Hi,
Can someone who owns both the Barrie last shoes and the AE 65 last shoes mention their sizes? I am a 10 D in the Allen Edmond 65 last which is a very good fit. On Alden Barrie wingtip shoe, I chose 9.5 C after trying both 9.5 D and 10 C (both 9.5 D and 10 C had heel space). 9.5 C fits very good on my small foot but presses the pinky toe of my large foot. I have been wearing 9.5 C for three months now but the shoe hasn't stretched. I was in New York in June and went to Alden Madison. The sales rep said that 9.5 C was my best size and slightly stretched the tight fitting shoe. He was of the opinion that this will stretch naturally after few months and 9.5 D will become lose after the same period. So, I should stick with 9.5 C in the Barrie last. However, I been wearing the shoe for 3 months now but the fit hasn't approved.
I feel that I should try 9.5 D and wear thick socks. For reference, I recently tried Aberdeen NST in sizes 9.5 D (tight in the toe box with toes cramped) and 10 D (heel space with slightly more than usual toe box room). I have now ordered 10 C to try from an online store which I should get in few days.
Thank you
