Fellas: I got them from Alden Shop in SF, and they were on sale for $200 (I think they retailed for ~$350). I got the impression that they had very limited sizes left. Also worth noting: they are on the TruBalance last, so you may have to go down a half a size.

Why do people like these again?Originally Posted by SoCal2NYC
I always had the feeling this would be like the MC section getting wet and creating threads over Hugo Boss or Thomas Pink...
The finishing is terrific, the construction is top notch for the pricepoint, and, combined with the good lasts, these are nice boots. Giorgio Armani said that American's make the best casual footwear. I am inclined to agree.

I'd agree also. Besides my Quoddy's, all of my casual footwear is from Alden. They fall short in dressier shoes though, if you prefer the lasts of their European competitors.
