Description from the seller
Alden Shell Cordovan US Size 9.5 E (EU Size 43.5) Black Shell Cordovan Cap Toe Blucher Original Packaging NEW
The Cap Toe Blucher by Alden is a masterful interpretation of the traditional lace-up shoe. In the history of the long-established New England manufacturer, exactly this cut holds a deeply rooted, special position, as it was considered the aesthetic answer to the everyday needs of scholars and dignitaries on the American East Coast at the beginning of the twentieth century. These personalities demanded footwear that combined the uncompromising formal seriousness of a straight cap toe with accommodating, open lacing in order to endure endless days on their feet with dignity. This design pragmatism established the model's unwavering reputation as a reliable companion in the most demanding and respectable environments of its time.
This piece is crafted on the classic Aberdeen last, which gives the shoe a remarkably flowing, fine line. The deep black Shell Cordovan from the time-honored Horween tannery captivates with its unobtrusive, unfathomable shine and bears witness to the months of careful handcrafting during the leather's maturation. A precisely executed, Goodyear welted construction with a durable oak bark tanned leather sole forms the supreme base. It is a quiet testament to artisanal devotion that, with every step, exudes that unobtrusive nobility which can only be brought forth by genuine, lived tradition.

Total outer length: approx. 31.3 cm

Leather / Outer condition: NEW

Miscellaneous: As a quiet monument to the traditional art of shoemaking, the black Cap Toe Blucher preserves its immovable dignity and outlasts the fleeting fashions of time in perfect serenity.
Original box and shoe bags are 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.
