Spring officially begins March 20th; hopefully the weather will cooperate. One of our most comfortable and popular shoes is perfect for a spring stroll. The Alden suede chukkas on the Flex Welt construction are ultra soft, ultra flexible and über cool.

Well we didn’t win an Oscar for our  Short Documentary “The Alden Tour” but we really enjoyed making it. It was Filmed over 5 hours on location at the Alden factory in Middleborough, MA this film documents the process of making a pair of Alden shoes from start to finish.

We wish to thank the members of the Academy and the hardworking men and women of the Alden Shoe Company for making this film possible.

We’ve received our first delivery of Alden’s new 403 stock Indy Boots. These boots are the same authentic Alden work boots you have known and loved. The 403 is made on the Trubalance last with Brown Chromexcel uppers, supple glove leather linings. Horween Chromexcel is excellent leather and looks great on these boots.

Incidentally we spent the day at the Alden factory and world headquarters in Middelborough, MA yesterday. What a great time, we took lots of pictures and video, which we’ll post as soon as we can.

The first delivery of our “Exclusive J.C. Indy Boots” arrived and went out in short order, actually all pairs were pre-reserved as are the next order for spring. We are extremely pleased with the way these boots came out and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our very good client Mr. J.C. whom these were named after.

Our “Exclusive J.C. Indy Boots” are on the Trubalance last in Cigar shell cordovan with Commando soles and 360º welts, medium stained sole and heel edges, five invisible eyelets and four speed hooks. In our humble opinion these are the most outstanding Indy Boots ever, but hey we’re biased.

Introducing our new “Greenwich” boot built by Alden exclusively for Leffot. Our inspiration was found in the spirit of Greenwich Village’s hipsters and Bohemians both fun and sophisticated. These boots can be worn equally well with a smartly styled suit or a pair of trashed jeans the boots themselves are “the statement”.

Built on Alden’s Barrie last they are incredibly comfortable and roomy. The uppers are navy oiled nubuc trimmed with black piping, nine black agatine eyelets and flat black-waxed laces. The soles feature Alden’s double water-lock oil soaked leather, which is flexible and waterproof. We chose a 360º pre-stitched reverse welt and mid brown sole and heel edges which is an extremely handsome contrast with navy.

We really love these boots, we’re quite sure they’re destined to be a Leffot staple.

A big THANK YOU to the NY Times Style Magazine “The Moment” for featuring our exclusive Greenwich boot.

Now is the time to lace up a pair of boots that will get you through the storm, at least if you’re on the East Coast. Our Alden Plain Toe Boots in Kudu leather are made for just that purpose. Kudu is an oily leather perfect for foul weather. In addition these boots have Goodyear brand lug soles, think snow tires for your car. Made on the Barrie last there is plenty of room for heavier socks to keep your tootsies nice and warm.

The Alden All Weather Walker is one of the most wearable shoes around. Perfect in wet weather, incredibly comfortable on double plantation crepe soles, and a simple classic design. 

Chromexcel is a fantastic leather, full grain yet supple and extremely durable. It’s called pull up leather, which refers to the way the color pigments change were the shoe bends, they just get better looking with age.

The Alden plain toe boot is simply a rugged all weather boot that looks great with a pair of raw denim jeans. Our make up version is on the Barrie last in Kudo with lugged soles.

Now in stock in D width only – $425

As we gear up for winter we thought it a good time to add a new Alden All-Weather Walker. This time we chose the Norwegian Split Toe which features Alden’s famous handsewn apron, in brown calf.

The exceptional insulating quality of genuine plantation crepe makes it an ideal outsole for winter wear, with reinforced leather tips for added durability.
