If you know your size, then there are several online options for getting Alden shoes, or call another store.Originally Posted by JayJay
They called the factory - I guess I could get them faster if someone had them in stock. As I understand it Alden is a small factory and selection is often limited.

Seems unlikely that the Internet is entirely sold out of them. If that were the case though, I wouldnt wait unless I didnt really need them in the first place. For the price though Id probably just get some C&JOriginally Posted by slappy
Alden & C&J are not even in the same price point.

Well the Alden shoe in question is going for $416 on shoemart, is that an inflated price? You can get Handgrade C&J off plal for $470 or benchgrade for $310-350 depending on shoe.

So yes. If you compare a full priced retailer of Aldens to a discount C&J dealer, they are the same price.

I would get the AE Park Avenues. They are a very nice shoe that will serve you well.
