Alden’s flex unlined chukka on the Leydon last has become very popular in recent years.

Fit wise, perfect for those who are comfortable with the Barrie.

Available in tan suede only, these chukkas are the perfect Spring-time addition to your wardrobe.

Alden Shoes – The Factory Visit 2010

12 hours by plane but extremely close to our hearts is the Alden Shoe factory in Middlebourough, Massachusetts. Touring the factory is like taking a lesson in American history. A hundred years ago, the New England area was a hotbed of US shoemaking. Alden is the last to stand, a testament to the Tarlow family who took over the Alden Shoe Company from CH Alden. Today, Art Tarlow Jr. continues his family tradtion of quality, hard work, and passion.

We are extremely proud and passionate about our partnership with the Alden Shoe Company. For almost six years now, we have been representing them to our best ability here in Honolulu. We truly look forward to a long, wonderful relationship that continues from this generation to the next.

Thank you to Art Tarlow, Bob Clark, Nate Humble, Rick Hajjar, Jamie Hajjar, Diane-Sharon-Pam-Martha-and all the other wonderful ladies, and especially the shoemakers continuing the tradition of fine American made footwear.
