No, they are not Aldens. That model 469 size 11C was made by E.T Wright Arch Preserver, made in USA.

My first attempt here.
Breaking in these still, this is the 3rd or 4th wear.

Loden green i think its called.

Anyone has same situation as me where you can see i can lace up my left foot more tightly than the right?

Does this mean i need or have more volume in the right foot?

Oh man i am just lovin these..

Those are just awesome. I have the same issue --- your right foot is larger than your left. Very very common to have different sized feet.

Man, that is one sweet shoe. Haven't worn much calf lately but I could definitely see those on my feet.

New to this thread and was hoping for some advice.

I've been lusting over J.Crew's burgundy shell PCT boots labeled "Alden cap toe cordovan boots" for quite some time now. I can't exactly justify the purchase right now, but I've been keeping an eye on eBay and TheShoeMart for any deals. I also see now that I missed a coupon code last week that would've worked, but alas.

Regardless, if I do get a chance to snag these on the cheap(er), I'd like to know what my likely size is. My local J.Crew in Austin, Texas doesn't have any Barrie lasted boots for me to try on, so I was wondering if there are other stores I should be checking out. I'm an 8.5D/E in Allen Edmonds' 5-65 last and 9D/E in their 1-511 last, if that gives enough information for a best-guess.

Also, it seems that J.Crew's site lists some sizes as out of stock and some as backordered. Does this mean the former sizes won't be made again, or does that change? Maybe there's a comparable boot I should be looking at elsewhere?

Thanks for your help.
