Let us know how they turn out

[sabergirl]

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!

Seawolf is correct…...knows his stuff

[sabergirl]

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.

thanks guys. they're beautiful! if only i could get them in a cigar, whiskey or ravello color… that'd be my dream come true.

[seawolf]

I've been lusting over Cigar or Whiskey shoes forever. swoon

[louisbosco]

i've two full size horween whiskey shell. but currently unsure what to do for them besides small leather stuff. don't think alden take such custom orders.
