Yeah. Unforch allen-edmonds and alden are butt ugly and poorly finished, in my opinion.
One of the main reasons people give for buying english shoes like C&J or EG is that they're supposed to last longer due to goodyear welt, good leather soles, etc.
I don't ever want to be forced to throw away a pair of shoes I love, again.
"feel" more durable may have no correlation with "are" more durable, but OK.
You can resole indefinitely.
Most of the famed UK/EU brands are some 2x cost of Alden shells;
But wasn't there a thread recently where it was discussed that the major manufacturers have a limited number of resoles... like only 2-4 times max, and then they refuse to work on the shoe any further.
