These are V-tip Aldens in calfskin, specially made for Anatomica. Alden shoes sometimes have inconsistent stitching, but Anatomica seems to have strict quality control, resulting in very high quality. Because of this, I've been wearing them for a long time without any problems. Also, they are a hard-to-find E width in Japan. Since they are calfskin, they are easy to maintain and can be worn daily, and the ability to repair them makes them cost-effective for long-term use. I have had them repaired at UNION WORKS every time, including one full sole replacement, and steel toe taps were added at that time. As accessories, I will include the Anatomica shoe trees in the photos and ship them in an ALDEN box, although it's a different box than the original. I've priced them with the hope that someone who will wear them will buy them. I'm reluctantly selling them because my feet have grown a bit. *I've included plenty of photos of both shoes, as I thought some people might be concerned. Thank you for looking.
