I love Alden and my Alden shoes, but with the latest price increase (approaching $700 for non-shell and over $900 for most shell models), the value question gets trickier. All of my first-quality Aldens purchased over the past few years have had issues -- some minor/cosmetic, but others more serious (vamp stitching coming undone requiring factory repair, serious puckering on another that boggles the mind how it made it through QC). In fact, I purchased a pair of shell tassel loafers seconds with fewer serious issues than pairs I paid full price for, so that might be the way to go unless you can purchase a pair in person and really look them over. That said, the lasts, designs, and overall elegance of Alden shoes are all still incredible and unique and they're still my go-to when I have the shoe itch.

Allen Edmonds Neumok 2.0. Picked these up in 2017 and still going strong, resoled via AE recrafting service after a year with Dainite sole which still looks almost new after many, many miles. These are probably the most perfect business casual shoe for my purposes. I believe this is their kudu leather which I like a lot for this shoe, but it does not hide scratches or tears well (see toe of left shoe).

@AlientoyWorkmachine I missed the last tour and am beyond excited. An all-time favorite and I loved the reunion album.

Any slowdive fans? I randomly learned they were playing Boston in September and managed to score some tickets, and then realized they have a new album coming with a single out now. Just incredible

Quick snap of this pair I’ve had in rotation for the last 4.5 years, been my primary pair this past year or two
