Classic Alden moc-toe blucher in black shell cordovan, model 2495, built on the distinctive 379X last.

A particularly versatile Alden model combining the rich character and durability of shell cordovan with a comfortable plantation crepe sole. The 379X last gives the shoe a slightly more relaxed, substantial profile than Alden’s dressier lasts, making this an excellent choice for both casual and smart-casual wear.

The black shell cordovan is beautifully preserved, showing attractive natural rolls and a deep shine without major cracking or damage.
