Edward Green – Simple is Best

For certain things in life, simple is best. Our friend HT could not have chosen a more beautiful design for his Edward Green made-to-order shoe.

The Farringdon is a simple long vamp 3 eyelet plain toe blucher. The extremely rare whiskey shell cordovan’s beauty truly shines through in this design. A HAF sole (double leather that tapers to single leather at the waist) is a perfect match for this versatile blucher.

Alden Shoes – The Repro Indy

Throughout the years the stock Alden #405, or Indy Boot, has had a cult like following. We wanted to offer the #405 in the same lighter chestnut shade they were offered in back in the 1980’s, along with a few improvements from its Foot Balance line specifications.

Our “Repro” Indy Boots are made with the highest grade, extra soft, cognac calfskin and are fully leather lined to provide maximum comfort and durability. The upgraded leather alone is worth the extra cost. Waxed laces round out the improvements to make this boot look extra sharp.

The improvements are subtle, but hopefully you agree, are worth the slight upcharge from the stock #405 offering.

Alden Shoes – Kudu Ultimate Indy

With the continued popularity of our Alden Ultimate Indy Boots, we present to you our latest version, the Kudu Ultimate Indy. Horween’s kudu leather is essentially heavily oiled and hand treated calfskin, done in the same procedure as shell cordovan. Thicker and more dense than the norm, kudu is definitely a rugged and everlasting leather, perfect for our Ultimate Indy Boots.

Although you may think these are very similar to our standard Ultimate Indys, a closer look will reveal the oiled leather and a different shade of brown. Our Ultimate Indy Boots are made with Horween Brown Cromexcel leather, which has a slight mahogany tone versus these, which are a true dark brown.
