Handmade by Alden - can't go wrong.

Just received my Alden bluchers, could not be happier. Alden shoes USA made, sturdy, handsome and classic. Thank you Alden and J. Crew!

These calfskin longwings are beautiful and built solid. They are sized a little large so I ordered a half-size down. Very little break-in was required. There was a little squeaking at first but a little conditioner applied under the lace flaps fixed the squeaks. I use a neutral shoe cream and Alden leather protector and I don't notice any significant darkening of the shoes. Couldn't be happier with these Aldens.
