AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Alden Shell Cordovan US Size 9.5 E (EU Size 43.5) Plain Toe Blucher Black Top
The cut of the blucher originates from the adverse conditions of the early nineteenth century and was conceived to provide the foot with unyielding support and simultaneously ample space under sustained stress. In its manifestation as a Plain Toe Blucher, this historical practicality finds its purest form. The construction strictly requires a large, flawless piece of leather, as the entire front upper manages completely without dividing seams.
The material originates from the Horween Leather Company in Chicago and consists of pure Shell Cordovan. This horsehide undergoes a six-month tanning process in which, using vegetable extracts, it develops its characteristic firmness and that incomparably supple depth.
Crafted on the legendary Barrie last, the shape is characterized by a generous, harmonious volume and a commanding presence. The welted construction anchors the upper to the bottom through a robust, all-around welt. A double oak leather sole completes the foundation and provides a reassuringly firm stance. Every single stitch of this enduring architecture carries a quiet promise of longevity that outlasts the years with consummate elegance.
Size: US Size 9.5 / Width E (EU Size 43.5 / UK Size 9)
Total outer length: approx. 32.5 cm
Inner length: approx. 29 cm
Width: approx. 11.3 cm
Leather / Outer Condition: The pair is in a very good and extremely well-cared-for used condition. Through consistent storage on shoe trees, the shape of the upper has been optimally preserved structurally. The horsehide presents itself in an intact, beautiful condition. The inner lining as well as the insole also exhibit a flawless condition and meet the highest standards in terms of hygiene.
Heel / Sole: The substructure comprises the original leather soles and heels and suggests an overall very short period of wear. The leather soles and leather heels are in a well-cared-for, substantially intact condition. The original dovetail rubber inserts show almost no wear and are in a very well-cared-for top condition.
Miscellaneous: The Alden Plain Toe Blucher in black Shell Cordovan crowns this rich American craftsmanship tradition with the aura of a perfect, timeless aesthetic.
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.
