Founded in Massachusetts by Charles H. Alden, the Alden Shoe Company has produced the finest men’s shoe and boots since 1884. Now in its fourth generation and one of the oldest shoemakers in New England, Alden embraces the industries love of collaborations and exclusives while remaining committed to quality, craft and heritage. For their latest tie-up, Alden customized a pair of split-toe bluchers – a signature style – exclusively for J.Crew. Made entirely in the USA on Alden’s Leydon last, the lace-ups are dressed down with tan suede uppers, a raised apron and double-oiled leather soles. Finished with leather lining and a Goodyear welt, these bluchers can be resoled again and again for a lifetime of wear.
