Alden Shoes

A long time ago Alden decided that it is important to create handsome shoes of great comfort and quality. Since 1884, the Alden Shoe Company has designed and manufactured classic gentlemen's footwear that represents America's tradition of old-school, custom shoemaking at its finest.

Still, given a modern world that too often prizes the promotion rather than the product, you might well imagine these old-fashioned talents for craft and honest value to be irretrievably lost. Alden's footwear stands as clear, adamant proof to the contrary.

In the pages that follow, we proudly offer the Alden New England collection of original designs: trim, well-balanced oxfords, sturdy brogues, and slip-ons of proportion and elegance. Each handworked from the finest leathers, representing a century-old tradition of crafsmanship, and reflecting in a quiet, sure way the solid values of the man who wears them.

Many of Alden's classic patterns take on a unique character when made from a genuine shell Cordovan, a leather of rare and enduring quality.
