Just popped my alden cherry. Most uncomfortable shoe I've ever experienced out of the box.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I am observing a lot of products that are hanging on by a inserting a branded component into their design. Some recent examples: Oak Street Bootmakers, MAKR, Quoddy, etc. Take away the Horween leather and the products become much less desirable. Thoughts?
I had the exact opposite thoughts when I wore my first pair of Aldens. Much more comfort than any of my AE's. Are you sure you got the right size?

Do you even know what Horween is?
I really really like those!!!!
Going by what I've read over the past several months, I'd say yes. I'm a US 9.5D in most shoes, so I sized down to a 9D for barrie. Unfortunately I don't have a local place where I can go and try on Aldens.
Thanks Pastor. I first saw these on LS's site and of course they were sold out. Was lucky enough to get these off of B&S.
In the Long Wings I bought on the Barrie last I sized down a whole size. I wear a 10 D in most AE shoes although in the longer last shoes ( like the 5 last Park Avenues) I wear 9.5 E. I first tried to wear a 9.5 D in Alden and it was just too big. I went and ordered a pair of 9 D to try them on side by side and the 9 D fit perfect.
A leather manufacturer. What kind of question is that?
Exactly. It seems Horween and their immediate customers (i.e. leather good manufacturers/retailers) are quite successful in marketing/utilizing the "Horween" brand name, especially in the US. Partially thanks to forums like this. Marketing informations (often facts but not necessarily) spread so quickly nowadays. And also the fact that "Horween" is American. That makes a big difference in today's consumer psychology.
