Alden in 1884, the Alden Shoe Company is now in its fourth generation and is the oldest shoemaker in New England. This exclusive-to-J.Crew take on the blucher is made on Alden's famous Leydon last with a leather lining and calfskin suede upper. Finished with a double-oiled sole and Goodyear welt, these bluchers can be resoled again and again for a lifetime of wear.
