Color #2 has only been run twice to my knowledge. Back in 2014.

Color #4 had a number of runs, approximately 20, back around the 2012 time frame and hasn’t appeared since.

Mahogany was around back in the formative days of Alden using exotics appearing on both the AF-1 and AF-2 made by AoC back in the late 90’s and early 00’s. There was a temporary re-appearance of it last year with AoC and B+M making small batches of it. So it’s pretty stinking rare as well.

Hope that this helps!!!

Would like to know where and when this Mahogany pair 9777 is produced. Alden Co. said they don’t have record

There have been three runs of Amaretto to date that I am aware of, Citi’s Jumpers, LS’s Wingtip Balmorals, and Tassel’s Tankers.

There has been a few runs of Mocha recently as well, the original Leffot CT Boot, the recent Tankers, and the LS Perf Tip Balmorals. Alden had some in inventory recently but ran out as they canceled a run on DC.

-Mike

They canceled the DC run? Damn, damn, damn.

Are my Alden shell chukkas too small? I got them yesterday at Alden Madison when I was in NY—I’m based in London. I was measured up and given a US7.5 E, which I was told is the wider fit. It felt pretty good, and I somewhat impulsively pulled the trigger without trying on the US8.
I usually take a UK7.5 wide, which translates to a US8.5 in most makers, so I would be sizing down a whole size with the recommended US7.5 in Alden. Anyway it felt fine, but today when I took them out they felt a little bit too cramped. My toes were sliding at times into the tapered end of the toe box and my big toe can only wiggle a little. It’s pressed against my second toe most of the time. Anyway, do you think I got a half size too small or does it sound like ‘breaking in’ woes? ??????

Found out something today that will make many of you say, "Well, duh..." - Unlined Shell is not the best choice for winter footwear when you're going to be standing around outside talking to your (very talkative) next-door neighbor. Still awfully pretty, though... B+M Color 8 Dover:

I enjoy every time you post a pic of those. That particular shade of #8 is tough to find.

Thanks - I really lucked out on these; bought off the bay from someone that had only ever tried them on once and put them back in the box.
