So Modified is basically Barrie with a narrower heel? Instead of B/D it would be something like A/D?

Huh? I'm sorry but whaaaaaaaa?

Someone once told me that if Barrie heel was too wide, go with Modified last. I've never tried it on, personally.

Modified last has a very unique fit to it. For me it fit like a glove when I initially tried it on, but I soon realized it felt super awkward to walk in them. This eventually resulted in knee pain when I wore the shoes. Now they are out of the rotation.

The Alden company stores (SFO, DC) should have standard models in stock. I got my 990 in C width in SFO without any pre-order.

What's the "O" in SFO stand for?

Back in the rotation.

Why was it ever taken out? Summer heat? Too nice to remove from rotation!

I'm a day late to the Ravello NST party....
Was wearing Meermin yesterday, sorry.

Beautiful DonL!

Any makeup with the AF (Alden Fan) designation is a creation of Adam.

Didn't know that. Pretty cool... It's been a little while Bakes. Glad to see you're still with us.

Recently I bought my first pair cordovan shoes. I found that leather lining on blucher is heave [look at the photo]
Is it normal?

Unfortunate...

Just found out that SFO is the airport code for the San Francisco International Airport. I don't think I've seen it refer to Alden of SF here before. Works for me though...

Are you asking whether or not they look unusually thick? If so, no. The lining looks pretty normal.
