The Alden unlined suede chukka’s are a fan favorite at Leffot. We tend to rotate the colors and we’re now bringing back snuff a fall classic (see update below). These are my pair and they’re with out doubt my most comfortable shoes. I say it all the time but they feel like slippers. I really [...]
After having posted the Horween video on the tanning of shell cordovan I had several comments to the effect that it was an excellent video “but”, it would have been even “better” if it had featured Alden. In the interest of all the “Aldenistas” out there, of which there are many, I present a behind [...]
In honor of Mad Men season three we present “The Classic”. Alden’s longwing in color 8 shell cordovan. The perfect wingtip, enough said… Alden longwing color 8 shell cordovan on the Barrie last with double leather soles
That was the subject line of the email I received from my very good client and serious shoe enthusiast Mr. Hythe. The email: I was looking at a picture of whiskey Alden NHS (Norwegian Hand Sewn) and I was thinking to myself: you know what? This shoe is pretty much as good as the Dover. [...]
Father’s Day is June 21st. This week we will be posting gift suggestions from Leffot to help you show the Dad in your life how much you appreciate him. The Alden unlined suede chukka boots on the leather flex welt soles are extremely soft and chic. They look great with jeans, shorts, or khakis. They [...]
Now that we’ve changed to daylight savings time spring feels so much closer. This week we received a reorder of the ever-popular Alden Chukka Boots in Tan Suede. Featured here in front of one of our new Psycho Bunny spring scarves. This is the “Circle Bunny” in 75% Lambswool and 25% Angora, made in England. [...]
We now have the Alden Chukka Boot in chocolate brown. I love how soft and comfortable these unlined suede boots are. I also love the fact that unlike most chukkas that have gum rubber soles these have the Flex Welt leather sole that, adds a slightly dressier look. Now available in three colors; Taupe, Snuff, [...]
Nothing says Alden more than Shell Cordovan, they are the largest producer of shell cordovan shoes in the United States if not the world. Our newest addition is the 9901 Plain Toe Blucher in black shell cordovan on double leather Goodyear welted soles. These shoes are on the Alden Barrie Last, which runs about a [...]
We put the Alden Chukka in Snuff suede together with our Lego Ferrari F1 racer and a Psycho Bunny scarf in our window this week. These boots are also available in Beige suede and are extremely comfortable. A great casual look.
Welcome to 2009, this is a good time to take stock of your shoe inventory, what you still wear and what you don’t. A basic shoe collection should consist of 3 to 4 pairs for dress and casual wear, and should of course be in good condition and worn in rotation. I recommend one pair [...]
This week we are showing a couple of our side windows. We feature the Alden classic Cordovan Tassel loafer in color 8 (Burgundy) and a full compliment of Psycho Bunny cashmere scarf, tie, and new to Leffot the cashmere knit cap and sterling silver cuff links. And in our other window we feature the new [...]
Today we received our reorder of the Alden Chukka Boots in unlined Snuff, and Tan suede. These are on Flex Welt leather soles, which I think, makes them more appealing and also technically qualifies them as Chukka Boots as opposed to Desert Boots. FYI The name, chukka, is derived from field game polo, meaning a [...]
