Alden® for J.Crew cordovan V-tip bluchers

Alden in 1884, the Alden Shoe Company is now in its fourth generation and is the oldest shoemaker in New England. This handsome, V-tip blucher is made on Alden's Barrie last with light but robust, single-oak leather outsoles. They're crafted from genuine No. 8 shell cordovan leather, which is vegetable-tanned for at least six months and known for its shiny finish, durability and flexibility. This cordovan leather comes from Chicago's famed Horween Leather Company (est. 1905), one of the oldest continuously operating tanneries in the U.S. The bluchers feature all of Alden's hallmark details, including a Goodyear welt, which means that they can be resoled again and again - so they'll last a lifetime.
