    thanks for the recommendation.

    I actually think I'm going to go another route & grab a pair of White's come this summer.

      Check out Nick's before you go the White's route. I've only heard good things…

        The death of Alden qc is a bit overplayed imo.  Not that they're aren't issues.  But they still make some very high quality models.

          Having owned both White's and Wesco's, there's no comparison. Wesco, to me, is a better boot in every way.

          Also, this….

            I actually haven't had any problems with Alden QC issues on any of my pairs, so I shouldn't spread that rumor. I haven't bought a pair in a few years tho.

                Worth 28 bucks? I found them at an antique store and can't decide if I want 'em.

                      They look pretty sweet to me. Even if you don't like them I bet you can sell them for more than 28 bucks.

                            I like 'em. They are in great condition. Just a few little scuffs, but nothing a little treatment wouldn't fix. They fit pretty well, too. Not a style of shoe that I rock very often, so they feel a little stiff on top of my foot. Maybe if they were a little wider? Not sure if this is the sizing info, but it's all I got:

                              If you lightly oil them on the inside with any number of the leather treatments and then wedge in a shoe tree for a few days you can perhaps stretch the top a bit, just enough, and your instep, if you can wear them a few hours at a time, will stretch them a bit more over time.

                                Yeah, the sizing is on the bottom left there @sabergirl "7 C/E"  If I remember correctly, the "C" refers to the width of the heel, and the "E" refers to the width of the rest of the shoe. The "7" is the size (I'm guessing you already figured that out!).

                                Hope they work out for you. They're nice!

                                    I found explanation of the sizing on the Alden SF web page. @seawolf is definitely right on point. The C is for a narrow heel, and the E is a medium rest of the shoe. I normally wear a men's 7.5 or 8, so I'm not sure if the last for this shoe runs big, or what. My toes definitely fit, it's the top of my foot that feels constricted. I'll have to find some shoe trees, give it a try.
