Alden Shoes – The Cordovan V-Tip

The Shell Cordovan V-Tip, available in Burgundy #8 and Black, continues to be our #2 best seller. Over the years we have sold hundreds of pairs, second only to the #1339, Shell Cordovan Chukka Boot.

There’s nothing wrong with #2. For a classic American dress blucher, we feel as though there is nothing better. Built on the Leydon Last, with a Single Leather Sole, the V-Tip, with a cult-like following in Japan, is a classic Alden model that every Alden fan should own!

Available in Sizes 6-10.5D.

SOLD OUT!

Alden Shoes – The Vintage Indy

Indiana Jones Fanatics are constantly trying to achieve “screen accurate” gear. We believe we are pretty close to acheiving that (along with a few major improvements as well) with our new Leather Soul Exclusive Vintage Indy Boots.

A follow up, or shall we say, Sequel, to our ever popular Ultimate Indys, these Vintage Indys are built with the same upgraded features such as Full Leather Linings, Higher Grade Leather (Vintage Oiled Nubuck), and a Leather and Commando Sole. We also chose an All Around Reverse Welt for a “cleaner” rugged look.

Alden Shoes – Flex Monk Strap

Riding the subways of Tokyo you’ll notice (as well as in any big city around the world) a lot of chunky, square toed, rubber soled shoes worn by businessmen on their way to work. It’s a tragic sight, but one all too familiar for those who appreciate finer footwear.

Those very unattractive shoes were the inspiration for our new Flex Monk Straps. Built on the Plaza Last, with an Oiled Leather Sole (great for rainy days), Alden’s Flex Welt Construction, in a buttery Soft Black Calf, these “Salary Man Shoes” are “everday comfortable” and will take the place of those chunky-monkey shoes in a perfect world.

Alden Shoes – The Hawaiian Stomper

To come up with the design for our newest Leather Soul Exclusive, “Hawaiian Stomper,” we started with our Ultimate Indy Boot and decided to make a low cut version of it. Instead of brown aniline calf, we chose a more rugged oiled dark brown kudu. A chunky double leather sole, reverse welt, and flat waxed laces round out the design.

Pair these Hawaiian Stompers with your Japanese denim or tweed slacks, they’ll look great either way.

Whether it’s the hard pavement of New York City or the sandy beaches of Waikiki, these shoes were made for a stompin.

SOLD OUT!
