So good. I need these in my life.
are these from Alden NY or Leather Soul?
care to share your impressions?


Love them. So comfortable. First foray into Alden suede believe it or not. Suede is butter soft. This is the same model as the Alden NY stores. Oiled single leather sole. It is the Barrie last. At least I'm 95% sure. It looked completely different than my 975s but laying the shoes sole to sole they are identical in shape.

Are there certain colors that you guys don't wear in the summer? Do you put away your dark #8 longwings and go with the lighter colors, or do you wear them all year round?

Also, check my sig for some new denim I have for sale.

Not necessarily colors, but I'll probably box up a few models (cigar captoes, maybe my Indy 405s) in May or so until fall

And keep those #8s from finally seeing some sun? That would not do.

#8 all summer.

No. I wear all my colors in summer. In winter I will nit wear white suede. I may wear snuff suede or whiskey if it is very warm and sunny.

I think this is the key consideration. Get the unlined pub in navy suede. I worn mine (from Leather Soul) all last summer. No socks. Its a great summer shoe. But get the other one too if you feel so moved.

Alden NY is OOS in my size.
