Alden cordovan boots review.
Alden the massachusetts company refuses to budge from its dedication to quality the best leathers including the hallowed shell cordovan bomb proof goodyear welted construction and remains hellbent on staying true to its time tested models while making just subtle tweaks in collaboration with its tight collection of retailer partners.
I have a number of alden shell cordovan designs in rotation including three pair of lhs s and none of them present a surface appearance as pictured in the op.
With a price point that starts around 500 some consider alden a gateway shoe while others can spend a lifetime of shoe.

They are my most comfortable pair and they are all pretty darned comfortable.
As others have said return them.
Genuine shell cordovan is durable and takes a high shine making it the perfect choice when you need a boot that looks great and stands the test of time.
It s the perfect boot to dress up.
I was considering a pair of danner s but stumbled upon alden s by chance and the shells by choice.
Thank you for a great review.
The plaza last made the boot elegant but with the versatile commando sole.
They also have calfskin leather shoes which is another type of leather renowned for its looks and lifespan.
One of my pairs of lhs s is an unlined pair of whiskey shells sold by bb.
Is the indy in the shell cordovan basically the same boot and is it worth the extra money.
