Which Alden Cordovan in Whiskey?

[dreamtripper]

I already have the blucher in Ravello so would would prefer to get a different model. Ideally, something a little more casual than a wingtip - any suggestions?

Whiskey Longwing. Great for casual wear in spring/summer.

I always thought of it as a little more on the dressier side, but the more I think about it, I think it would well with jeans and other casual wear. Do you know what last it's made on? I was thinking of getting one of the loafers, but didn't think it was worth (for me) the $650.

Any thoughts on the split toe?

The split toe was my first whiskey shell, but oddly I'm not too fond of it and have worn it only once or twice. Of the whiskey I own, my favorites are the longwing and plain toe blucher.

Any idea where I might be able to get the Whiskey in 10D? Thanks!

I can take them off your hands if you don't like the split toes

Every summer I declare that I'm going to wear them, but then reach for my other shells in whiskey. I'll let you know first if I decide to part with them.

I thought they are #8,I am actually very turned off by all these whiskey and light shell colors. I think #8 is a perfect color and I could wear it every day. I discovered that I need more black, dark burgundy and dark brown shoes.

I also prefer the dark colors, mainly black and burgundy particularly for work.
