Snuff suede LHS 6243F and dark brown suede LHS 6245F side by side.

I purchased both pair within the past two months. I always think that my favorite pair of shoes is the last pair I bought, but in the case of the snuff suede LHS, it may actually be true. They are wonderfully comfortable and versatile shoes.

I can already tell where this is headed. Come spring, I’ll cop a pair of tan suede LHS, navy suede LHS, color 8 LHS, and keep my eyes open for a pair of loden suede LHS in my size.

Shout outs to Moulded Shoe NYC and Sherman Brothers Philadelphia for feeding my addiction.

When you're ready for Loden, hit up Louiestyle/LaRossa as they'll be getting another run of 18 pairs soon! I would proactively reach out if you know you want that pair since they always sell out.

Thanks for the tip. I should reach out to them about a special order since it looks like they don’t stock my size (7.5D)

Give them a call and ask for Bill. He's the owner and a great guy to work with! My 8D should be in that next run. Hopefully, it hasn't gone into production yet so you can add your size!

Loden suede - I had to look that up. It wasn’t familiar to me. I guess this is like an olive color? I think LHS in navy suede would be awesome. I think dark navy goes so well with light wash blue jeans..

Has anyone stretched their Aldens before? Curious how the process went and how impactful it was. I have a couple pairs of suedes that I was thinking about doing this too. But if it's not really impactful or lasting, maybe I should just cut my losses.

I’ve had calf Aldens stretched and it did the job. No experience stretching suede.
