Alden blucher Modified Last

I purchased this pair at Moulded shoe which has the best selections of Modified Last shoes from Alden in the U.S. Modified last, unlike Japan and France, not the most popular last among the rest of Alden`s lasts. Barrie, Aberdeen or Plaza are more available here. Anyway, since I am from Japan and like the strange shape and comfy fit, I own several or more shoes with Modified Last.

This shoe is a special order by Moulded shoe so I waited LONG after I had ordered and paid 100 bucks as deposit, probably more than 6 months. Overall, I am satisfied with this, but the fit is a bit tighter than the other Modified lasts I own, still good enough though. The price was 480 or something like that.

I thought Japanese fashion mags know every premium shops in the U.S., especially in New York, but I have never seen any mags talk about this shop. A bit pricey, even considering the price hike of Alden, but the selection of this shop is great.
