The shoes came packaged in a plain box, not the green one with retail Aldens. there is a "R" stamp on the Alden logo on the sole.

As for the quality of the shoe. sole construction seems to be onpar with retail version. The left shoe, i couldn't find anything wrong. There is some slight discoloration and a slight crease on the instep of the right shoe, but once it is laced up and worn with anything, it is not noticeable.

definitely worth a shot. you can return them if you are not satisfied.

I was bored visiting relatives up in Buffalo, and wandered into a Banana Republic at a local mall, and found all their Paul Smith look a like striped socks marked down to $1.99. Picked up 10 pairs.
