Description from the seller
Alden Shell Cordovan US Size 8 E (EU Size 41.5) Ultra Rare MTO (Made to order) Wing Tip Bal Natural Crepe Sole
A classic full brogue Oxford by Alden in Color 8 Shell Cordovan, designed as a Wing Tip Balmoral with closed lacing. The clean lines project a calm and balanced appearance, while the fine broguing adds structure without becoming obtrusive. This model is perfectly suited for formal settings, yet its substance ensures it remains highly versatile. The original natural crepe rubber sole provides a cushioned, even stride and brings a pleasantly understated everyday practicality to the formal design.
This pair was realized as an exclusive MTO edition for Ed Meier. It serves as a prime example of those special editions where design details are defined beyond the standard collection in unique collaborative models. The result is a variation that possesses a subtle distinctiveness and unfolds a unique, characterful aesthetic in its conscious restraint.
An MTO shoe of this nature serves as a bridge between classic manufacturing and custom individual production. For the wearer, this combines proven artisanal quality with design nuances that offer a distinct individuality in this form and carry the signature of an exclusive collaboration.
Size: US Size 8 / Width E (EU Size 41.5)
Total outsole length: approx. 30 cm
Insole length: approx. 27.3 cm
Width: approx. 11 cm
Leather / Exterior condition: Worn only a very few times and very well maintained by the previous owner, who was certainly a shoe enthusiast. Perfect shape of the upper, beautiful Shell Cordovan vamps! Excellent overall condition! The insoles and the lining of the shoes are in an excellent, hygienic condition. (Note: The lining shows slight superficial scuffing from inserting the shoe trees).
Heel / Sole: Everything original and excellent! This is the original Alden Natural Crepe sole made of high-quality natural rubber. The crepe sole offers a perfect feel, characterized by outstanding elasticity and softness.
Other: A balanced representation of the Alden Wing Tip Bal in Color 8 Shell Cordovan with a characteristic crepe sole.
Original box and shoe bags are not included.
Seller's Story
Welcome to my page for premium first- and second-hand men’s shoes.
“Chance favors the prepared mind.”
Louis Pasteur (1822–1895)
The idea of offering exceptional and carefully selected men’s shoes arose from a deep personal passion and long-standing experience with this fundamental element of the classic wardrobe. For me, a masterfully crafted shoe is far more than a mere object of utility – it is the visible expression of individuality, character, and refined taste.
The focus is on traditional craftsmanship, excellent materials, and the enduring quality of timeless classics. Let yourself be inspired by this fascination and discover true treasures of the first- and second-hand segment in my shoe showcase, which impress with uncompromising quality and character.
