Made on the elegantly shaped Plaza Last, this smart boot comes adventure ready with a commando sole, set to develop unique patina with wear and care. Shell Cordovan is made from the connective tissue from a portion of a horse’s rump. It’s rare, low yield and known for its dense, tight grain and durability. While naturally matte, Shell can achieve a notable glossy finish. This leather is highly regarded for being able to maintain its luster and shape over time. Alden’s Norwegian Front Toe stitch is a decorative finish which pays homage to the water resistant work boots of over 100 years ago. The process for constructing the uppers and placing on the last is so difficult that there are only 2 or 3 highly trained hand-sewers that are tasked with this responsibility. Alden footwear is crafted using Goodyear Welt construction, which allows for a full restoration when necessary and a water resistant build. A tempered steel shank under the arch and a cork fill provides remarkable support and comfort throughout the day.
