THE OFFICIAL ALDEN THREAD FOR 2020 - SHARE REVIEWS, SIZING, ADVICE, AND PHOTOS.

Being Canadian, I don't have access to the shoe mart ?. I'm secretly hoping one of my friends takes a trip to Paris and doesn't mind a detour!

Have you reached out to Anatomica about getting on their next run? I believe they have one coming sometime in 2021

Do you know what made the spot? Might try covering the spot with cornstarch and seeing if that absorbs some of the offending liquid. If it's be set in, for a while might give the Bick4 a shot, or some of the stuff Saphir makes for "greasy" leather.

Granddaughter here this weekend, Pelle Line boots and the greatest toy ever. Bucky the Wonder Horse is approaching his 35th birthday, has been through my kids and now on to grandkids. Good times.

I received a donated pair of AE shell chukkas that were going bad and cracking. To make a long story short, I turned one of the shoes into a wallet. Calf on the inside and shell on the outside.

I haven't! Do you know if they have an email address or do I need to call? I don't speak french either.

Much respect. I enjoy seeing something created by hand in today’s “buy everything” world. Thanks for sharing and talk about a proper way to repurpose old shell!

No second career. I'm not that good nor that fast. As for "Platinum", it sounds good but still says that even if there is only $5 in the account.

Their English seems very good in my limited dealings with them (certainly leagues better than my French)
