Alden^® for J.Crew straight-tip cordovan boots

As expected, Alden cordovan is top notch. The boots are beautiful, just wish J. Crew had more sizes in stock.

The ultimate men’s boots, expensive but will last forever.

This is my second pair of Alden x JCrew boots. The quality is unparalleled, and the colour is unique

I’ve never tried an Alden boot before but have some Red Wing Heritage and Wolverine 1000 mile in my collection and decided it was time to treat myself. I did some research on line and determine to try a 9.5 (though I measure a 10) with the Barrie last on these boots and the size was spot on for me. Yes there is more room in the toe then I’d go for in sneakers but the arch, width, heal and toe bend were all perfect. I purchased these with the intention of wearing casually outside of the office and for the not so dressed up days in the office and they truly work great with jeans or khakis. The boot is truly gorgeous and I would argue the cordovan is extremely comfortable and has not given me any issue with break in. They may look stiff but it’s a very soft and pliable leather. Thus far I’ve also addressed any spots or scuffs by just brushing vigorously with a horse hair brush - and by vigorous I mean a good solid minute and generally anything rubs out. These boots are a heck of a price point and while value is subjective I have no regrets about spending on these. They’re incredible in every way - looks, feel, comfort.

Amazing boots. Definitely something that every man should buy to treat themselves at least once in a while. Fits is the Alden Barrie last.

This one is on the Barrie last. Most people order half size down but if you have narrow feet with medium-low instep, you should be okay ordering a full size down.
