Description from the seller
Alden Shell Cordovan US size 7.5 E (EU size 41) Plain Toe Blucher Color 8 Shell Cordovan
The Alden Plain Toe Blucher is a purist and globally esteemed classic of North American shoemaking. Over the decades, this model has quietly but inexorably evolved into one of the most defining and popular designs of the Massachusetts-based manufacturer. Rather than demanding attention through elaborate ornamentation, the shoe achieved its enormous popularity from the mid-twentieth century onwards through an uncompromising reduction to the absolute essentials. In the tradition-steeped menswear stores of the East Coast, this unadorned lace-up shoe quickly became the loyal companion of generations seeking unagitated reliability and an enduring, unobtrusive design.
The masterful craftsmanship on the proven Barrie last gives the shoe a balanced, substantial presence, which is soundly underpinned by the welted construction with a double leather sole. Particularly noteworthy in this present pair are the beautiful uppers made of the finest horsehide, which present themselves in an exceedingly rich, deep oxblood and reveal magnificent color nuances depending on the incidence of light. The uninterrupted leather section drapes over the last in absolute purity, immediately highlighting the outstanding quality of the material. It is a masterful work of honest beauty that exerts a profound, quiet fascination from the very first glance through its pure presence.
Size: US size 7.5 / Width E (EU size 41 / UK size 7)
Total outer length: approx. 30.5 cm
Inner length: approx. 27.5 cm
Width: approx. 10.8 cm
Leather / Exterior condition: The shoes were only worn a few times for short periods and show a partly mint overall condition. The upper has excellent shape retention. The interior is extremely well-maintained, absolutely clean, and in hygienically flawless condition.
Heel / Sole: The substructure corresponds entirely to the brief period of use and is in very good condition. The original Shell Cordovan stampings on the leather soles are excellently preserved and still clearly visible.
Miscellaneous: Like a silent witness to paths past and future, the Alden Plain Toe Blucher stands entirely at peace with itself, carried by the quiet certainty of timeless craftsmanship.
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.
