Straight Tip BAL. Alden’s dress oxfords, longtime favorites for business attire. Select calfskin uppers, dovetailed heels, full glove leather lined flexible pure vegetable tanned leather insoles. 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, crafted not only with good looks, but with the integrity of fine shoemaking, a special addition to your wardrobe.

This shoe is very well made and is beautiful. It is a very dark burgundy. It runs slightly wider than a comparable sized AE shoe, so buyers should factor this in when buying.
Many men are scared off by prices like these, but it seems to me that is only because they fail to consider the purchase as an investment - many times a life-long investment (particularly given that the shoe can be fully restored/recrafted).
You won't regret buying this shoe.

My first,but definitely not the last,pair of Aldens.After 30 minutes they felt like I had been wearing them for years. Extremely well made and comfortable.The entire staff at Shoe Mart is a breeze to work with. I am sure they receive hundreds of orders daily,but they treat you as though you are the only customer they have. Great shoes,great price,great staff, what more could you want?
