Thanks. I did not think to put my search into a translator. Smart move sir.

If you still have your translator open, do you mind looking to see if they are shell or calf?

All it says is Cordovan and Burgundy color, so I'm inferring Shell #8.

I need help from the group. Brogue Shop has a black suede boot, and Leffot has a pre-order black suede boot. I already have an AE black suede Caen boot, but there is something about the Brogue/Leffot black suede Alden Boots that I really like. The Brogue is in stock, in my size and Leffot would be a pre-order. The help I need is this: Do I really, really NEED another black suede boot? Serious answers only, weasels need not apply. I should add that I only wear the AE about 1 or 2 times per month.

I have an eye for a total of 3 or 4 black suede items. I think you should buy them...I would if I could fit in them! I'm betting for you the in stock brogue boot will win. ;p plus, the brogue's more casual design with bright hardware and commando seems more in line with your aesthetic. I'm more keen on the sleeker Leffot as you might suspect

Pretty sure its sacrificial ceremony involving horses.

Ouch, I'm that obvious??? I agree that the Brogue boot is more in line with my aesthetic, but the Leffot is so nice. I'm afraid I will wind up with both at some point. But for what it's worth, Brogue is on order. Now to sell the AE's and make room......

Okay so I’m still sort of shocked that I got some whiskey. I think I’m in a daze.

I know that this is not necessarily typical for whiskey, but I would not be disappointed at all if they looked just like these appear in the photo. I can work with lighter too. These will see a lot of denim and corduroy.

Boy it’s going to be a long three days waiting to get them into my hands. Haven’t been this excited about a pair of shoes in a while.

Hi folks,

Two week ago I have cared my NST using MAC methods but it ended up with weird spots on the shell. I have no idea if they are water spots? I have been waiting for them to disappear but by now I see no progress. Hope someone can advise me how to deal with them.

Thanks.

The one's in the photo are a beautiful color, I hope yours are very similar and they will work great with denim and corduroy. Great 2nd entry in to the Alden Abyss

I’ve seen this and I got rid of it with heat from running hard and fast. I think it’s accumulation of the cordovan cream.
