Alden Shoes – Chromexcel Plaza Wingtip Boot (LSW & LSBH)

Waikiki

August 1, 2010

Our Plaza Wingtip Boots in shell cordovan have been extremely popular ever since we introduced them back in 2007. Since Horween’s chromexcel has also been such a success for us with our Ultimate Indy, we thought, why not mix together two of our most popular items? The result was our Plaza Wingtip Boots in Chromexcel.

A couple new additions to the makeup include metal eyelets and a double oiled leather waterlock sole.

SOLD OUT!

  1. Which shoe last are these made on?

  2. it’s real gorgeous.
    fantastic!

  3. 9D still available?

    • John,

      They were available last I checked. Please call or email the Beverly Hills store to check current availability or to place an order. Calling is the quickest and most efficient way.

      Aloha,

      Tom

  4. Wow, what a pair of boots! Horween chromexel is wonderful leather. Love the all eyelet design, Tom!

  5. Thanks for answering about the shoe last. That was actually a dumb question.
    I’m too caught up on everything either made in the Barrie or Trubalance last these days.

    If I hadn’t just purchased the Brown Chromexcel NST boots I would certainly be taking a pair of these!! The Brown Chromexcel is amazingly comfortable right out of the box and it looks great. The leather on the boots I have remind me of my high school baseball glove — no joke!!! Perfectly soft, durable, and just get better looking with age!! You never fail to keep your shoe lines fresh, clever, and timeless…. Always looking forward to checking your site. Keep up the great work!!!

  7. Thanks Will! Glad to hear you are liking your Chromexcel NST Boots (among other LS Aldens you own)!

  8. WOW… are he boots of size 9 almost sold out?
    It’s so sad news..
    i think re-stock is impossible….

  9. I can’t beleive how much nicer boots look with eyelets all the way up. Nice work, LS! Can you do an Ultimate Indy without the speedlacing someday? So much cleaner…

    Love these.

  10. Just looking for some advice here since I don’t have any thing like this in my collection – what does one wear these boots with? Jeans? Khakis?

  11. Serian,

    Feel free to give LSBH a call. They may have a pair left, but I think they’re sold out too in 9D.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  12. Bamacpa,

    I think khakis and jeans would be perfect matches for these boots.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  13. That was quick. Thanks for great service, and one of these years I’ll be quick enough to get a 9D.

  14. So sad… i hope another gorgeous Alden Boots..
    at next time, i don’t hesitate…

  15. Hi Tom,,

    always such nice shoes, any chance to get them in a 9.5EE?

    Best!

    • Thanks Parker. Sorry, the Plaza last only goes as wide as a E. If we ever reorder, we can order them in a 10E for you if that may work.

      Aloha,

      Tom

  16. Khakis and jeans? What about a suit on a sloppy winter day?

  17. Glad they are sold out, saves me from thinking about how gorgeous they are, especially since I bought the NST in brown chromexcel. Maybe on the re-order.

  18. Hi Tom,

    Do you still have 9.5 available? Any new style with brown chromexcel or kudu leather footwear coming up?

  19. Alex,

    We are sold out here in Waikiki but please shoot Bryan and email at LSBH…bryan@lsfootwear.com. He may have it in stock.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  20. What sizes do you still have available? How does the sizing compare to Jcrew’s Alden Indys?

  21. Chester,

    What size are you interested in? The last is different than the Indy Boot, but most people take the same size. Please feel free to call or email us to check availability.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  22. Any chance that you could order these in a shoe, or any chance that you’ll reorder the boot? They look fantastic!

    Thanks!

  23. Stephan,

    A shoe version sounds like a great idea!

    We’ll probably reorder these soon as they have been very popular.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  24. Tom,

    Is this boot available in 8 1/2?

    Thanks,
    Will

  25. Do you have these in a 11 at any one of your stores?

  26. Will these shoes get made again, if so, when?

    Charlie

  27. Charlie,

    Probably yes. Can’t say when exactly they will be in stock. To give you an idea, if we ordered them today, they’d probably be here around February or March.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  28. Tom, thanks for your response. If I were to place an order for this shoe and wait til next year, could I request a commando soul be put on, or does it complicate matters?

    Charlie

  29. Charlie,

    Sorry, no. It would entail a $150 markup along with a longer wait time. You are better off getting it as is and having it resoled in commando when it’s time for a full restoration in the future.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  30. Tom,
    Ive been trying not to buy anymore Aldens but these are amazing! I am sized a 11 B/C but for Aldens on the Barrie last I wear a 10D, what size do you suggest I get in the Plaza last? And do you have that size avaiable in these boots?

    Thanks

    • Ian,

      I would say wait and order a 11.5B or C on the Plaza. We are currently taking preorders so it would be great timing for you to get something that really fits you well as long as you don’t mind the wait.

      Aloha,

      Tom

  31. Tom,

    If I am a 7.5D in both Barrie and Tru-Balance what would I take in these?

  32. Chris,

    8D, which we do have in stock. Please let us know if you are interested!

    Aloha,

    Tom

  33. Hello,

    I need a size 11d. Please say you have them?

    Thanks

  34. I read the comments (already made the call). Thanks.

  35. Tom,

    Do you guys ship to APO/FPO type addresses?

  36. Hi Tom,

    Do you still have this in a 13D? My Alden 901s on the Hampton last are that size so this should be the same, correct?

    Thanks!

  37. Hi Tom,

    Do you have a size 10D?
    Which credit cards do you accept?
    Reading your previous post regarding sizes – I take a size 9.5D in Alden loafers so I’m assuming size 10D in the boot?

    Jim.

    • Jim,

      We accept Visa, MC, AMEX, JCB, and Diners. Bryan will contact you tomorrow with availability since LSBH is closed on Sundays and we are out of 10Ds in Waikiki.

      Aloha,

      Tom

  38. Tom,

    How does Chromexcel do in wet weather? Thinking of these as a fall boot in a damp Northern Europe climate. Also, do you still have the 8D available?

    • Chris,

      I would assume Chromexcel does well. Unfortunately we are out of 8D in Waikiki. I will have Bryan check for you tomorrow when LSBH opens.

      Aloha,

      Tom

  39. Tom,

    Sad you don’t have the item in my size.
    Very impressed with the short response time in answering e-mails. Bryan was very informative too.

    Will you be re-ordering the boot? Is it possible to order a pair in advance?

    Thanks,

    Jim

  40. Jim,

    Sorry again. Yes, we will be getting this boot again in the future but they won’t be here for about 6 months time unfortunately.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  41. Do you have this in 10D? (If a Hawaiian Stomper at 10.5D is a tiny bit too big with the Leydon last, and the Plaza runs a bit big, I should be okay here with a 10D, right?)

  42. Sean,

    Sorry, we are down to our final pair, a 13D.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  43. Taking names for re-order yet?

  44. Sean,

    Yes.

    Email us to confirm.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  45. Not sure if you saw my last question…

    (If my Hawaiian Stompers at 10.5D is a tiny bit too big with the Leydon last, and the Plaza runs a bit big, I should be okay here with a 10D, right?)

  46. Tom,

    Any word on an 8 at LSBH?

  47. Sean,

    Sizing is similar to the Leydon.

    Chris,

    Sorry, we only have 13D left.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  49. Tom, please, any chance of re-ordering these great piece of art in 9E in the future?
    Thank you very much –
    George

  50. why not lofers in same design?

  51. I know they sold out, but how did they cost?

    Cheers

  52. Tom is there a pre-order list for these? If not when will you guys be getting more in? Finally how much for shipping?

  53. Tom,

    What’s the difference in last between the Plaza version and the Barrie version?

    Sean

  54. Sean,

    The last and the sole.

    Tom

  55. Are these coming in again soon?

    Any chance of pre-ordering?

  56. Agreed with Adam. Are these coming back again?

  57. All,

    We will try to get these in the rotation again soon.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  58. Very beautiful………

  59. Tom,

    Any chance you’ll be getting a restock on these anytime soon?

    Drew

  60. Can I get these still??????
