It pains me to see these babies hurt, as if some ruthless bully just punched my favorite son in the face and gave him a black eye + a permanent scar.

The Blackbird x Alden wingtips make me wish I could pull off the Americana look:

EDIT: Speaking of which, anyone interested in a lightly used pair of 966's in 9.5D?

A lot of sizing questions on this thread. Since most people know what their sizes are in nike, maybe it would be useful to compare your nike size to your alden size.

To tell my experience. I wear a 13 in Nike, Adidas, etc. I wear a 11.5 Alden 9901 using the barrie last. I also wear a 13 in the Alden 1494 unlined chukka -- though I think I could wear a 12.5, but I bought them as a newbie.

I would be curious to know what other experience in how their nike size translates to Alden in Trubalance and other Alden lasts.
