Classic Alden patterns, plain toe blucher oxford, dressed down for casual wear, richly nourished leathers with mini lug rubber outsoles. Fully leather lined 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. Great all day comfort and useful in wet weather conditions.

I wear 12M and bought 11.5M as recommended. 11.5 shoes fit perfectly for me.
These were the first pair of Alden's that I've owned, and the quality is superior to any shoe I've owned. Buying a new brand of shoe off the internet is a little tricky, and I’ve had to send a few pairs back (other brands) for either style or fit.
The Brown Chrome color is just right for khakis, and the black rubber tread is subtle and not too aggressive.
Wore these around the house for a few hours, and then, after I decided they fit well, and I like the style, broke them in by taking two 30 min walks in them, on separate days. Then I treated the creases and bulges with a little lanolin from inside the shoe. After that, they fit like I've worn them for years, which I intend to do!
