Fit well and are really durable as I wore them trudging through the blizzard.





Steven showed me these when he got them in because I am a big black shoe/boot fan. They are beauties!

I have a pebble grain pair of really high boots with buckles from Ron on their way.

Closer to 337 - not as long as 348, more balanced proportions.

Comfort last in likelihood. Also Andrew W are those patterned wholecuts in your second upload a commissioned work? They'd look amazing if you ever decide to sell any more like that pair.

Price from The Armoury (HK based store run by fellow SF'ers yfyf and toiletduck) is approx $500 + shipping from HK. See the link to the Armoury at the top of this page.

Last is called the Simpson last, it's a chiseled toe last, similar in shape to the C&J 337 last - not as elongated as the C&J 348 last. It has very balanced proportions which I like. Seems to be a last of average width, not particularly narrow or wide (they have an Inca last which I'm told is wider and an Alcudia last which I'm told is narrower although it's not obvious from the pics.)

Style as you can see is the classic semi-brogue - this is the type of shoe that goes with anything.

Maybe, but they have a flat welt, and it doesn't look like the Barrie last. I feel like you don't often see Alden's with flat welts. I guess just the short wing on some sort of other last.
