Description from the seller
Alden Shell Cordovan US Size 9 E (EU Size 43) Plain Toe Blucher Black Shell Cordovan Top
The Alden Plain Toe Blucher in black Shell Cordovan is a masterful representative of purist American shoemaking. Among the most traditional men's outfitters between New York and San Francisco, this design is traditionally considered the most popular and best-selling model in the entire history of the manufacture. Since the front upper is cut from a single, continuous, and completely unadorned piece of horse leather, the production requires the highest quality of raw material; even the slightest irregularity would disrupt the sublime overall impression.
Built on the proven Barrie last, the lace-up shoe features a well-proportioned design supported by a substantial double leather sole. A 360-degree Goodyear welt, finished with a handcrafted split reverse welt, underscores the indestructible character of the construction. Within the almost mythical, unfathomably deep shimmer of the fine horse leather rests a dignified tranquility that inevitably captivates the observer and reveals the true soul of this timeless footwear.
Size: US Size 9 / Width E (EU Size 43 / UK Size 8.5)
Total outer length: approx. 32.5 cm
Inner length: approx. 28.7 cm
Width: approx. 11.5 cm
Leather / Outer condition: The pair is in a very good and exceedingly well-maintained used condition. Due to consistent storage on shoe trees, the structural shape of the upper has been optimally preserved. The horse leather presents itself in a beautiful condition. The inner lining and the insole are also in impeccable condition and meet the highest hygienic standards.
Heel / Sole: The substructure includes the original leather soles as well as heels and suggests an overall short period of wear. The leather soles and leather heels are in a well-maintained, substantially intact condition. The original dovetail rubber inserts are in top maintained condition.
Miscellaneous: The Alden Plain Toe Blucher in black Shell Cordovan crowns the 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.
