Crafted in a beautiful burgundy shell cordovan hide, this shoe also features a medallian toe, 360 pre-stitched reverse welt and blind eyelets, rounding out this Blucher for your formal and semi-formal occasions. The Barrie Last provides an elegant and popular silhouette in authentic Alden styling.

Shell Cordovan is made from the connective tissue from a portion of a horse’s rump. It’s rare, low yield and known for its dense, tight grain and durability. While naturally matte, Shell can achieve a notable glossy finish. This leather is highly regarded for being able to maintain its luster and shape over time.

Alden footwear is crafted using Goodyear Welt construction, which allows for a full restoration when necessary and a water resistant build. A tempered steel shank under the arch and a cork fill provides remarkable support and comfort throughout the day.

Shoe Size Guide

Size down ½ Size (US 9.5D = Alden 9D)

The Barrie last runs a 1/2 size larger than your standard US shoe size. The hallmarks of the Barrie last is its voluminous shape (high toe box, wide heel cup) and its ability to fit many different foot shapes comfortably. For this reason, it’s Alden’s most popular last. If you have slimmer feet or a low volume instep, sizing down a full size in the Barrie Last is common.
