Availability: OutOfStock

The “Elliott Bay” 6-Eyelet Norwegian Front Toe Derby is made exclusively for Brick + Mortar. Crafted using a comfortable and stylistically versatile snuff suede upon the elegant Plaza Last.

Alden’s Norwegian Front Toe stitch is a decorative finish which pays homage to the water resistant work boots of over 100 years ago. The hand-butted seam is distinctive and intricate, so much so that the process for constructing the uppers and placing on the Last is so difficult that there are only 2 or 3 highly trained hand-sewers at Alden’s factory tasked with this responsibility. The front of the shoe is actually a single piece of hide, not multiple pieces that are stitched as you would see on a split toe. The craftsmen use a tool to pinch the leather and then uses 2 needles to pierce the seam on opposite sides, hand-sewing what you see.

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 Plaza last is considered Alden’s dress last. It is characterized by its sophisticated, chiseled, and slightly elongated toe box. While the Plaza is considered a true-to-size last, if you have narrow feet, sizing down a 1/2 size is common. FITTING NOTE: Loafers made on the Plaza last run long, We suggest taking your Barrie last size when ordering Plaza last loafers.
