Alden cordovan boots review.
Alden the massachusetts company refuses to budge from its dedication to quality the best leathers including the hallowed shell cordovan bomb proof goodyear welted construction and remains hellbent on staying true to its time tested models while making just subtle tweaks in collaboration with its tight collection of retailer partners.
Featuring metal eyelets speed hooks and a commando sole.
The process takes up to six months to complete but the result is a beautiful soft leather.
I was considering a pair of danner s but stumbled upon alden s by chance and the shells by choice.

Genuine shell cordovan is durable and takes a high shine making it the perfect choice when you need a boot that looks great and stands the test of time.
The plaza last made the boot elegant but with the versatile commando sole.
For me i have balance issues and fell more comfortable walking in a hiking boot.
They also have calfskin leather shoes which is another type of leather renowned for its looks and lifespan.
As others have said return them.
It s the perfect boot to dress up.
With a price point that starts around 500 some consider alden a gateway shoe while others can spend a lifetime of shoe.
