36mm

Great looking watch! I'd love to get my hands on the new 36mm model, but fat chance. Hard to say what's more unlikely - getting a stainless Rolex or ravello NSTs!

Wonderful, thanks for posting BAK. Wish more retailers used the Aberdeen last for lace shoes and boots.

How am I supposed to do that? Like asking someone to rank their favorite kids. Lots of good choices there.

Continued my theme of dark denim and Ravello. These may be the maiden voyage for the LHS's.......

Definitely diggin the dark denim. Could just be that it's nice to finally be out of sweats.

Getting ready to grill, and NO WAY am I going to wear Snow White saddle shoes around my grill (I know my "issues" with sauces) So change to full straps

What is the most number of pairs of Alden footwear you've worn during a single day ?

What is the most number of pairs of Alden footwear you've worn during a single day ?

I hate to admit this, but 5 or 6. Of course, being retired and having a closet full, it's tempting to change a number of times.

Sorry, most number is about 10

Likely a world record, which is kind of cool

I ended up going 1/2 size down (10.5D) from Brannock (11D). Years ago I had tried on both and felt the heel slip was far too much. My only simple option for trying on now is at a local retailer that carries C width only for the LHS. The 10.5C was way too tight, and the 11C just felt off, not too much slip but like I was sliding some. I ordered 10.5D online, and when I got them, the heel slip was significant, giving me a flashback. I thought about sending them back. The advice I got here beforehand was that if it feels OK in the strap and toe, the slip will go away with wear. That has been accurate. Now the shoe just feels very comfortable. It is as though it is almost too loose, but not, and I feel like I hardly notice it. At the end of a full day I have no discomfort whatsoever. I hope that helps!

Thanks for the info!
