nice shell Aldens Get Smart. Despite the fact that #8 is not a "rare" shell color, I always think that it does look nice new and aged.

i know, if I had the option for calf I would go that way. I think cordovan is overrated, but I have no problem buying it if the rest of the shoe is good.

the brogue boot is AF-79

size 8E on Leydon last. I normally wear a D but the E actually fits real well esp since I had intended to use an insole for added cushion

Quite possibly the best looking boots I have ever seen. Would gladly trade my 1000 Mile Wolverines for these Indy's.

It's been an Alden week

burgundy calf laceups on Plaza last w/ flex welt sole. These might be the single most comfortable dress shoe I own, like wearing sneakers.
