Alden 925 Wingtip Bal from 1982 on the Arch Street Last in Walnut Brown Calfskin. I had never heard of the Arch Street previously but it is a very elegant dress last. Similar to Aberdeen/ Hampton. Alden provided me a picture of the 1982 catalog photo of this shoe.

Are those 2" cuffs or bigger?

2'' cuffs! With my height, I need a 2'' cuff otherwise it looks absurd.

I'd be interested in going above 2'' but haven't tried anything yet...

@savvysartorial those are some sharp bals !

Thank you! Love, love, love them. Mine were pair #1 from that run; they're a great dress style.

I think they look good! I was at the tailor last week and he talked me out of 2" cuffs (settled on 1.5 inches). I'm only 5' 10" though
