Alden Shell Cordovan US size 7.5 E (EU size 41) Black Shell Cordovan Cap Toe Blucher The Alden Cap Toe Blucher combines the open flexibility of the classic blucher with the balanced symmetry of a straight toe cap. The construction of the attached quarters is named after the Prussian General von Blücher, whose sense of uncomplicated adaptability provided a lasting impetus to traditional shoemaking. While a simple blucher captivates with uninterrupted flowing lines, the transverse seam across the toe box brings a refined order and visual calm to the overall appearance. It subtly structures the leather and imparts an elevated, formal dignity to the model, which harmoniously suits any elegant occasion. The present model is crafted on the traditional Aberdeen last. The upper is made of deep black Shell Cordovan from the Horween tannery in Chicago. The upper is attached via a durable Goodyear welt to a double oak leather sole, which provides an exceptionally firm stance. In the deep, silky shine of this fine horse leather and the precise joining of all elements lies a sublime tranquility that fills the object with timeless dignity from the very first glance.
