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

[audog]

No drunk ordering this year?

I apologize for posting too much about these boots, but you have to understand that I've never tried on a boot that fit this well. Never knew boots could fit so well. They've made me feel a lot less bad about missing out on the original Higgins. I've decided to hide the pictures so I don't "hog" the thread.

Spoiler: More natural 45625H pics

Can't wait for my beige laces to arrive.

No, no drunk ordering. Don't worry about hogging the thread, most of us like photos of shoes and boots....Which last are those again?

Happy Thanksgiving to my Alden family!

No apologies needed. As I’ve said, I love my pair.
Where are you getting your beige laces?

Wondered the same thing, myself.

Laccico. Just be aware that they cannot ship by jet right now to the US (some covid restrictions). They can ship to the US by boat, but that means you'll be waiting a long time. You also have to order by contacting them. I wasn't sure which color would match better, so I ordered both of these.

BEIGE flat waxed shoelaces width 6 MM | Waxed Shoelaces

These shoelaces are made from excellent quality waxed flattened cord with a width of 6mm. Colour is Beige.

GREIGE flat waxed shoelaces width 6 MM | Waxed Shoelaces

These shoelaces are made from excellent quality waxed flattened cord with a width of 6mm. Colour is Greige.

The dishes are done and the TV is off. I go to bed with a smile on my face knowing I am supposed to receive new boots tomorrow. Between Covid, being a EEE width and everything 2020 has thrown at us, they only took 11 full months to arrive.

What is the Alden "Classic" last? TTS? 1/2 down? I'm not familiar with this last and TSM does have something of interest in my Aberdeen size.

Rather quick for Alden

I would say Rest In Peace tonight, but somehow that just doesn't seem like the correct remark. Anyway, hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and post pix of the boots tomorrow

The Shoe Mart has slashed prices on a number of Factory Second models including Shell, some by over $100.

Also a further $20 off coupon code with BFCM2020

I ordered last night when I saw the Chukka in Color 8 drop from $529.95 to $399.95. I've been eyeing these for years! Missed out on using the coupon code, but I'm pretty happy!
