Well that's a bummer. Maybe you have to make a special request.

"wear the shoes a minimal of three different times on carpeting to ascertain if the fit is proper for you"

The vamp on the shoe on the left of the photo looks like **** assuming it's new (which it looks).

Those ravello longwings are unbelievable. Wow.

Does anybody know where I might be able to find a shell cordovan longwing in any colour except black with the double oiled flex welt sole?

Edit: I think the closest might be the LS x SF shortwing in colour 8.

Hi guys,

I am interested in purchasing a pair of Alden Indy boots and am a little bit confused about the size and width. I may have to try on both sizes, but I just wanted to get your expert opinion. I will likely be a 9 or 9.5 based on the following shoes sizes:

Adidas/Nike sneakers: 10
Mark McNairy Saddle Shoe: 9.5 (width is perfect, length feels a tad too long)
J Crew dress shoes: 9.5
Chucks: 9 (width is pretty snug)
Clarks DB: 9.5 (width is perfect, length feels a tad too long)
Common Projects and Lanvins: US 9 or 42

I have been told I will likely require a width higher than D. I have only ever worn D width shoes...might be the reason why some don't fit as well.
