BEAMS Exclusive Alden Manson Boots 4503 Last: Military Last Material: Calf Color: Black Size: 9 Width: C Sole: Cork Sole The Military Last, like the Modified Last, is a type of last that secures the foot at the arch. When worn, you'll feel a comfortable tightness in the arch. The C width gives it a sharp impression. These are wild boots that don't look overly clunky. The sole is a cork sole, often seen on classic work boots. The brown sole complements the black of the main body. The wear on the sole isn't too severe, as you can see in the photos, so you should be able to wear them for a while without needing to replace them. While they show signs of wear, there are no noticeable scratches or stains, and you can continue to wear them for a long time. These are wonderful boots, and it's clear they were made with care by hand. You can enjoy pairing them with denim, military pants, and chinos – they go with anything. Although lace-up boots can be difficult to put on and take off, the hooks at the top make them significantly easier to wear. No claims, no returns. No bags or boxes included.
