Alfred Sargent is a solid choice. I tend to steer clear from Alden, except when I am getting casuals. Alden's are far and away my first choice for a casual shoe--particularly the LS and Leffot collaborations. However, to me their dress shoes just look off. To be completely honest, I actually prefer Allen Edmonds lasts to Aldens. I think that the 5 last is simply much sleeker, and more apt for oxfords. With that said, for longwings, NSTs, Chukkas, and a bonafide plethora of other casual shoes, one simply cannot surpass Alden in my opinion.
