  • The “Depano” Handsewn Norwegian Front Boot is made exclusively for Brick + Mortar. Crafted using a comfortable and stylistically versatile snuff suede upon the accommodating Trubalance 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 process for constructing the uppers and placing on the Last is so difficult that there are only 2 or 3 highly trained hand-sewers that are 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 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 Trubalance last runs a 1/2 size larger than your standard US shoe size. The toe box is slightly wider than the Barrie last, but shallower. The heel cup is also narrower than Barrie’s, so while the Trubalace is wider-looking than Barrie, the fit is very secure. If you have narrow feet, sizing down a full size in the Trubalance last is common.
