Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Alden longwing shoes and wingtips? Our FAQs cover essential details to help you confidently wear and care for your Alden longwings.
What makes Alden longwings different from standard wingtips?
Alden longwings feature brogue detailing that extends the full length of the shoe, wrapping around the heel, while standard wingtips usually stop at the midpoint. This gives longwing shoes a bolder, more substantial appearance.
Are Alden wingtip shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. Many Alden wingtips are built on versatile lasts like the Barrie, which provide comfort and support for regular use. Their sturdy construction and high-quality leathers make them a strong choice for daily wear.
How should I care for my Alden longwing shoes?
Regular brushing, the occasional use of conditioner, and proper storage with shoe trees will help preserve the leather. For shell cordovan models, a gentle buffing with a soft cloth restores the natural shine.
The History of Alden Shoes
In 1884, Charles H. Alden founded the Alden Shoe Company in Middleborough, Massachusetts. The company prospered during the explosive growth of the regional shoe manufacturing industry at the turn of the century.
It successfully navigated the Great Depression when many other shoe manufacturers failed, and the company adhered to its American-made values as other shoe companies took advantage of cheap manufacturing overseas in the post-war economy. The company concentrated on high-quality men's shoes rather than lower-quality mass markets and thrived.
Alden, still a family-owned business, is the last of the original New England shoe manufacturers to continue to operate.
