A much sought after Bootmaker Edition shoe in Black shell cordovan leather: the Alden long wing blucher. With dovetailed heels, full glove leather lining, and  flexible pure vegetable tanned leather insoles, this shoe showcases Alden's attention to detail. Over time, this long wing shoe will assume the contours of your foot for fit that feels like it was crafted just for you. 

Alden shell cordovan shoes are finished by Alden's master craftsman using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tanning and hand finishing. The single tannery still producing genuine shell cordovan today is indeed practicing a rare art. The tanning process takes a full six months to complete and produces leather that is soft and supple, yet very durable. 

Each Alden New England shoe offers breathable comfort that lasts all day long. A layer of cork underneath the insole provides both insulation and resilience.  A tempered steel shank is expertly contoured within each shoe and triple ribbed for extra strength. The shank provides a backbone to keep the shape of a fine welt shoe and additionally offers remarkable support for lasting comfort.  Shoe mart is proud to offer this custom Bootmaker Edition model, crafted not only with good looks, but with the integrity of fine shoemaking, a special addition to your wardrobe.
