Same stuff as online right?

Do you mean are the second in the store the same as in the irregular emails? I think they have more in store than they put in the emails. It's still hit-and-miss (I didn't find anything when I was there), but my impression is that you have a better chance of finding something of interest in-store.

A while back we discussed how close Alden Cigar shell was to Allen Edmonds brown shell. My Allen Edmonds arrived last week and here's a side by side photo with my Alden Cigar shell Chukka's. I really can't see any difference IMHO. Those of you that were looking for Cigar shell belts. My AE belt also arrived and it too is the same as an Alden for a lot less. You have to custom order the brown shell belt from AE. It's not listed as an option, but you can custom order it. It will cost you $10 more for the custom order but its worth it. The buckle it comes with is nickel and nice quality.

See Ya,
Steve

I've got a PTB #8 for sale if anyone's interested. I consider this more of PSA than spam but If there's outrage that I've mentioned this here I'm happy to delete. it.

If anybody is interested I have a new pair of Cigar LWB that I'm considering selling , they have never been worn outside just tried them at home but unfortunately I need an E width and these are 9.5D, they're new just 2 weeks old.

Sorry if I'm breaking any rules but since this is the Alden thread I thought there was no problem letting you guys know.

Thanks,

citishoes has longwings, PTB and NSTs in some of the less common cordovan colors.  You would have to call to see if in your size.  

Thanks for the tip. Just checked...closest they had was a LW in whiskey size 8E which would be too big for me. 8D is my best size and is already pushing it for me in some Alden Barrie shoes. Let me know if anyone has any others in 8D or close.

Now those are some nice short wings Uncle. Their Ravello color really lets you see the detail in the design.

I learned something last weekend when I visited Alden-SF. I'd never tried the Grant last so I tried on the #8 straight tip boot. I was told that the Grant last is essentially the Barrie last with a sleeker toe. That was news to me.

Thanks for the information. Considering that AE doesn't let you wait 1 yr to get your shoes (at least not yet), I've been wondering if it's time to pull the trigger and get a brown chukka.

1494 today as well.

This is for Sazon who asked for some more pics last time I wore these. Got a better shot in full Florida sunlight today:

Thank you ! I love these boots!

Ravello PTB, which for some reason is hurting my right foot today in the creases!
