Custom Bootmaker Edition Norwegian split toe oxford, handsewn on the last made from luxurious long wearing Color 8 shell cordovan leather. Alden shell cordovan shoes are finished by Alden’s master craftsman. They are admired by the finest boot and shoemakers throughout the world. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tanning and hand finishing, the single tannery still producing genuine shell cordovan today is indeed practicing a rare art. The tanning process takes a full six months to complete and produces leather that is soft and supple, yet very durable.
