Beautiful collection. A personal spin on classic ideas that will never go out of style. As for the price. Once you make the transition to higher quality footwear, C & J, other traditionally-made footwear, here in the U.S. Alden-especially Cordovan, you’ll realize it’s worth every penny. Great things rarely come without a price. But the the way the shoes feel, the way you feel wearing them is something every man should experience. .

@Russell Sprouts. Aldens are very nice, but still a bit pricey in my opinion. I prefer my Red Wing Beckman boots. Look great, made in the USA, and I got them for just under 300.

@pat d. It’s McNairy for Engineered Garments not Target™. Would you complain about the price on a pair of Aldens?

Perhaps David Z. is more your speed my friend.

^I’m speaking about the pair that was chosen to be the main photograph for the blog post if you didn’t catch that.

For many people to buy this specific pair would be a very thought intensive decision. it’s easy to just say yeah, these shoes are great, but given the choice of a limited budget which only allowed a few pairs a year IF THAT, would they still be purchased? For this price it seems only a lucky few without a budget would even consider them and the ones who did have a budget would either be saving up for months and/or would have been looking for a shoe that fits this exact description already for awhile.

The shoes look great, but the $425 to $625 price tag is outrageous. It would be nice if designers made their products for everyone, not just rich ad executives in New York. I’d love to buy a pair of quality, made in the USA boots for less than a rent payment.
