Alden Shoes – Tan Suede PTBoot w/Crepe Sole (LSW)

Posted by LS

Another variation of our popular Alden Plain Toe Boots w/Crepe Sole has just arrived, this time in supple tan suede.

We prefer them dirty and beat up with natural indigo stains, but feel free to use a high quality suede protector spray to keep the suede pristine. Either way, these suede PTBoots with soft crepe sole will not only look great, they will be one of the most, if not the most comfortable boots you will ever wear!

SOLD OUT!

    Tom, I know you appreciate feedback, so I thought I’d share my aesthetic preferences for lacing boots (and maybe encourage others to share theirs):

    1. No pull-strap, regular laces
    2. No pull strap, speed laces
    3. Pull strap, regular laces
    4. Pull strap, speed laces

    Of course, my first preference might be impractical (the boots could be awkward to put on) and my last preference might be redundant (do you need a pull strap with speed laces?)

    So the bottom line: please keep offering boots that have speed laces and no pull strap.

    Hi, How would I go about getting a boot similar to this in a wide size? I currently own a pair of alden #325’s e/eee and they fit perfect in size 10. Apparently, they are made on a somewhat rare last “CDI”. How would my size in the CDI translate to the barrie or trubalance (your ultimate indy’s look awesome) Any info is greatly appreciated,

    Dave,

    The CDI is a very unique last. It has the most volume of any last Alden produces. I would highly recommend visiting a reputable Alden dealer and get fitted on the Barrie or Trubalance before placing an order. You may find that your Barrie/Trubalance size differs slightly.

    With that being said, we do a preorder about once a month to give people the opportunity to order non-stocked sizes. Please check back to our website a few times a month and you should see the preorder notices.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    Tom,

    These boots look great; will they survive in Seattle? I haven’t tried suede here, and get a lot of varying opinions about how it holds up in the rain, maintenance, etc.

    Thanks,

    Dan

      Dan,

      I too hear a lot of varying opinions. I would try using a high quality suede water repellent on a dark shade of suede but maybe a light shade like this tan may be a risky call in wet and rainy Seattle. I can’t say from experience though.

      Aloha,

      Tom

    So are these on the Barrie or TruBalance last? Also, because of the Crepe sole, are shoe trees necessary?

  12. Tom on September 5, 2010 at 7:25 pm

    Thomas,

    These are on the Barrie last as stated above. Shoe trees are always recommended regardless of sole but of course it is up to you if you use them or not. Shoe trees will help to draw out moisture from your shoes as well as help to keep the overall shape of the shoe.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    Any of these left in a size 8 or 8.5?

    Please clarify sizing. Similar sizing to Barrie or TruBalance last?

    Thanks –

    I currenty wear an Alden style 4060 (cap toe boot) plaza last, in 11 B/D. It is slightly long for me but wearable. Your boot in 11D sounds a bit large for me but what do you think?

    Reply
  21. Tom on October 15, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    Mayo,

    I believe the 4060 is on the Grant last. The Length should be similar to the Barrie but the Grant is much narrower. Sounds like a 10.5D would be your size in the Barrie.

    Aloha,

    Tom

    Thanks for good advice Tom. Do you anticipate another shipment of this boot, any time soon? It appears to be an ideal hot weather boot.
