Does anyone know which JCrew stores in NYC carries Alden LWB, specifically Tobacco?
TIA.

Just call the 800 number and they'll check for you.

looks like she tried on the right shoe already... =P

Ha! I actually asked her about that and she said it must have been the lighting and that no creases are present on either shoe.

This may be the best ravello high boot I've seen on this thread. I regret not jumping on these in 10E when they were in stock. The dark reddish brown ravello batch used for this boot works great for this particular style.

EDIT - This appears to be the NST stocked by The Shoe Mart, correct me if I'm wrong. A few posters have them (NAMOR has a pair that is much ligher than this one)

^ yah i figured those were from the shoe mart.

The 25% off NRO coupon is now active and I just tried it and it worked. Enter "USA" upon checkout. You're crazy if you don't think saving 25% off on any Alden pair they have is worth it. I ordered from them before and had no problems at all. Enjoy.

I just used the code and it worked. Thanks for the notification of the sale and the code.

I never get pictures sent. I get, "Seriously? More shoes?" But those look great!

I have received the same response.

Wow, thanks for the high boot praise! Yeah I grabbed these from The Shoe Mart, I think I grabbed one of the only pairs left.

Just used the NRO code to restock on Alden shoe trees. Thanks for the tip!

If it's anything like a month or so ago, they don't actually have the shoes in stock...

What size are these?

I have been on an NST-boot quest for awhile now and was unable to find any offerings. Have a deposit on #8 version, currently.

BTW, that color tone is perfect IMO; so jealous. Please post more pics when you can.

 

[0waterbouys]

They are a 10D. And thank you very much. I'm glad the community received these so well. I'll snap some better pictures when I get home. Good luck on your quest!

It might be worth checking with them to see if they can get your size. I needed a 12.5 in the unlined chukka, which wasn't listed on their website, but they're sending me the 12.5 as we speak. If there is something that you know is a stock size with Alden, it may be worth it to see if they have it, even if it isn't listed online.

Congrats, I'm glad they were able to order your size.
