All the Alden products I've bought - and that's plenty - had bags.
I just checked out the new Alden chukkas at J Crew... I was't a fan of the texture of the roughed out chukka... I much prefer Alden's normal suedes. Also, I wasn't too much of a fan of the cordovan chukka
The Tannery. You used to be able to haggle with them for some pretty good deals. However, the last time I tried, they told me they no longer do that. Definitely check out the Harvard Square store on Brattle Street. The J. Crew men's store at the Copley Mall is worth a visit too. I believe it's the only other store outside of NYC that actually stocks Aldens.
Thanks for the suggestions. Does the Tannery have much of a selection of boots (excluding Indys?)? Same question for NWO as well as they seem to carry a ton of shoes, but few boots (as per their website anyway).
I also would like to confirm which color polish for Ravello.
hi, new to this forum. i was wondering if someone could help me out. i own a pair of ravello cordovan PTB's and would like to know which color polish i should use for them. i recently bought a pair of shoes from the alden carmel shop and asked the gentleman which color i should buy. he recommended brown. when it arrived i opened it up and saw that the brown paste wax seemed a bit too dark for ravello. i'm not sure but is the correct color polish for ravello the tan wax paste? thanks

...and what about whiskey, while we're at it.

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but how do people use the bags? It seems like you would put a shoe or boot in them, but I saw a video on Leffots website showed putting the shoe back in the box and then putting the bags on top before closing the box.
The bags are for storage and you can use them in or out of the box. Usually, I bag the shoes I'm not wearing regularly and box the out-of-seasons. I drape a bag or two over the regular wear shoes/boots to keep the dust out. I know Steven (Leffot) recommends boxing - then it doesn't much matter if you bag, as long as they're covered in the box.
Winn Perry posted their #8 cap toes on double waterlock soles. Might be a good option for those of you who shared concerns with JCrews version and rainy weather.
