High-quality cordovan, the well-regarded 2161 model. This is an authentic pair. I wore them for formal occasions, but haven't had the chance to wear them in the last two years. They have been maintained and stored with SAPHIR products. As expected from Alden, they are incredibly comfortable, often described as "walking on clouds." Size US8, 26cm, comes with a valuable shoe tree. The straight-tip design makes them suitable for formal events such as weddings and funerals. Toe steel studs are attached. High-quality cordovan conforms to the wearer's feet. - Color: Black - Size: US8, 26cm - Accessories: Shoe tree - Style: Dress shoes - Material: Cordovan
