I do know that one, yes. The Leeds fit TTS whereas Alden Barrie usually runs .5 size large.

Picked up these brand new (not old stock) Florsheim Kenmoor in Horween Shell Cordovan recently:

lovely shoe & images.

[tigerpac]

Are those the new Indian made Florsheims? How do you like them?

[Guest]

Hey Tiger, good to see you again. Yes, these are the new Made in India Kenmoors. Definitely not as good as the old Made in USA Florshey's but still not bad for the price. Probably just a step under Allen Edmonds in terms of construction.

[tigerpac]

Nice to you see (and your enviable shoe collection) again as well!

Thanks for the info, I had guessed as much but good to hear it from somebody with so much experience with fine footwear.

Very nice pick up, bl@ster.

searching for a pair of nice dress shoes for the office…should be worn under a black suit (white shirt + tie or bow tie).
you guys have any recommendations to share? (size US9 in Alden btw.)

[Giles]

Personally I think nothing can beat these to be worn with an evening suit.  You can get the lined versions from Alden, but I love the unlined version even more…..I have had both the brown and the black versions and worn them both into the ground...

Obviously if you are prepared to spend on dress shoes then the sky is the limit. If, like me, most of your clothing budget goes towards casual pieces but you still want to look good for the office, then I can recommend Loake's 1880 range. Made in England, quality materials, reasonable price. I've been impressed with my Buckingham shoes since I bought them in autumn 2012.

For comparison, I take a 9 in the Loake and an 8.5 in Viberg (2045 last) and Alden (Trubalance last).
