Classic Bootmaker Edition balmoral cap toe shell cordovan. Alden shell cordovan shoes are finished by Alden’s master craftsman. They are admired by the finest boot and shoemakers throughout the world. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tanning and hand finishing, the single tannery still producing genuine shell cordovan today is indeed practicing a rare art. The tanning process takes a full six months to complete and produces leather that is soft and supple, yet very durable.
Unsurpassed for breathable comfort and long wear, it assumes over time the contours of your foot shape giving a truly custom quality to the fit. Beneath the insole is a layer of cork, providing additional resilience and insulation. Every Alden New England shoe carries a tempered steel shank, precisely contoured and triple ribbed for extra strength. Truly the backbone of a fine welt shoe or boot, the shank provides the proper support and shape required to give comfort throughout the day. Oak tanned leather bends are cut into outsoles at factory for maximum control of quality. Shoe mart is proud to offer this custom Bootmaker Edition model, crafted not only with good looks, but with the integrity of fine shoemaking, a crisp new update a very special addition to your wardrobe.
*Cigar shell cordovan a beautiful brown, durable, translucent finish only needing occasional polishing.

This is my first pair of Aldens and my experience with TSM was a pleasant one. I was a little apprehensive at first because I didn't know if the last would fit me, but I ordered a 9D and it fit true to size (my foot measures a 9 on a Brannock Device). The shoes came with a nice chamois shoe bag which should help keep your shell cordovans free of blemishes.
Overall I'm very pleased with the service provided by TSM and the high quality of the shell cordovan cap toes. If you're looking for a dress shoe that is both elegant and sleek then look no further than Alden. I'm a fan for life.
