    Now they are very nice indeed!
    If there’s a 10.5 then I’d love to reserve them!
    Best,

    Hi Tom,

    Classic for sure. How does this last fit? True to size?

    Is there any way, when making Alden special orders, you might place orders in C (or even B) width? I believe the Barrie is made in C. The Barrie last, like many American shoes, is a somewhat wide D compared to many Italian/European shoemakers.

    While there’s apparently a strong demand in the U.S. for shoes tilting wide, there are narrow-footed American shoe buyers too! I’d love to buy a pair of these in 11 1/2, but I know they’re wide for me (and others). Thoughts?

    Hi Tom,

    These are great. Wondering if you have any in a 12d?

    Thank you,

    Do you ever carry 3E width, or would that require a preorder?

    Regards,

    Francis,

    I’m sorry, I have no idea how Church’s fit. If you can get fit on a Brannock device I can recommend a size for you.

    Aloha,

    Interested in these. Do these fit 1/2 size large? If so, do you happen to have a 10D in stock?

    Are there any 11.5 in stock?

  20. Tom on January 5, 2010 at 11:54 am

    Andrew,

    Yes, we do have 11.5D in stock. Please keep in mind they do run 1/2 size large so these would be perfect if you were a true 12D.

    Please send me an email if you would like to place an order.

    Aloha,

    Tom,
    I would like to order to order a 11 B/D ( That is was is written on a pair that I own).
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!
    Barry

    PS: Does the same shoe comes in a darker color ?

      Barry,

      We do have 11D in stock but please make sure your pair is a comparable last. This shoe is on the Barrie last which fits large. If you don’t know which last your shoe is on, please describe it to me or better yet, let me know the model #.

      Sorry, this is the only color we have for this particular longwing.

      Aloha,

      Tom

    Tom,
    How does Barrie fit relative to Plaza? I am 11D on Plaza last.
    I wanted to ask you if it is possible to get some longwings ordered on Plaza last,I am interested in this pair and some 2-3 pairs of cordovan in different colors. I assume Alden can take a special order and make the longwings on Plaza last,double sole. Is that possible?
    thanks in advance.

      AT,

      If you are a 11D on the Plaza you would most likely be a 10.5D on the Barrie.

      Yes, I can order you a longwing on the Plaza last but I cannot give you a definite completion date. Alden does not give a guaranteed completion date on single pair special orders. I would be able to order them in #8 burgundy or black shell cordovan, no other colors of shell are available. If you have any other questions please let me know.

      Aloha,

      Tom

    Thanks Tom.
    I am definitely interested in #8,I already have a pair in black so I will pass on black. I also wanted to get the longwings in Cigar and Whiskey but it doesn’t have to be all at once,I think it will be easier if I start with 1 pair. Would there be a surcharge for a special order?
    Also,if the shoes don’t fit,can you exchange to a different size or accept a return?

  25. Tom on January 17, 2010 at 7:05 pm

    AT,

    Yes, there would be a $150 upcharge for the single pair special order. Sorry, we wouldn’t be able to accept a return or size change since these would be special ordered (only 1 pair made) for you. A 50% deposit would be required and this would not be refundable for a single pair special order.

    If you still wish to proceed please let me know.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    I was talking about a return or exchange on shoes you stock,not the special order.
