Alden denotes the width of the shoe as a fraction: the top of the fraction represents the width of the heel, while the bottom represents the width of the rest of the shoe.

5) Decent price point compared to shoemakers that work with similar materials. 6) Traditional aesthetic (high quality and stylish in a “handsome,” “gentlemanly” way) 7) Alden shoes are pretty comfortable, can be very eye catching (cordovan, suede, etc tend to get tons of compliments) and overall enhance one’s look.

At the end of the day, the main benefits to Alden shoes are. 1) High quality Horween leathers (Chromexcel, cordovan, and I assume suede) in unique colors. 2) Willingness to work with retailers (many of whom work with customers) to develop special styles. 3) Variety of well-fitting lasts.

People with a low instep feel the need to size down 1/2, while others go true-to-size. This guide was created using the users' feedbacks posted in our Official Alden Thread.
Shoe Sizing Guides. New posts. Alden's 379X last is also known as the "military" last and is often used for the Japanese and European markets.
