This is an Alden 961. It will be shipped in a box for another Alden model (which is in poor condition). Alden 961 Norwegian Split Toe Blucher Black Calfskin This is a U-tip model, also known as NST. Among the many models, this one is made on the Aberdeen last, which is considered slim, and the black stitching gives it a more dressy feel compared to other Aldens. Currently, a calfskin model costs over 170,000 yen at authorized retailers. If the size fits, it's a great deal. I'm selling it as part of my year-end/New Year's decluttering. Thank you for your consideration. Size: US8 B/D Regarding the condition of the item: I purchased it new and have never worn it. There is a slight crack on the upper of the right shoe, near the bottom of the facing. Because the entire shoe has a thick wax finish, it's unclear whether this is a crack in the wax or damage to the leather itself. Regarding the fit: I wear the following sizes, but this shoe was too tight for me on the Aberdeen last. I could wear it with thin socks, but it would be a tight fit, and I don't have many opportunities to wear dress shoes now, so I'm selling it. * Alden Barrie, Military US8 * Alden Modified, TruBalance US7 1/2 * Tricker's Bourton 7 * Tricker's James 7 * Paraboot Chambord 7 * Paraboot Avignon 7 * Paraboot Michael 41 * Paraboot Barth 7.5 * J.M.
