Rare V-tip shoes featuring Alden's iconic Modified Last from the era of the old logo. These shoes have a canvas lining, which is not found in current models, giving them a vintage feel. Size: US 8 1/2E Japanese size: 26.5~27.0cm Sole Length: 30.5cm Maximum Width: 10.5cm This extremely rare model, with the 8 1/2E size not available in Japan, is unlikely to be found again. Many Japanese people have wide feet and high insteps, and the E width is suitable for most, but it's difficult to find, and many people are looking for it. The leather is supple and elastic, characteristic of the old tag, and the condition is very good. You can use these shoes for a long time after purchase. The Modified Last is characterized by a deeply curved arch (the instep area), and was originally developed for people with foot problems. It is also recommended for people with flat feet, which is common among Japanese people, and those with peculiar walking habits. It naturally helps to correct the way you use your muscles, making it highly recommended for those who often walk in leather shoes.
