The original tassel moccasin often copied, never equaled. Handmade by Alden in the USA with Genuine calfskin leather sourced from the world famous Horween tannery in Chicago. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tanning and hand finishing, Horween produces some of the finest shoe leather in the world. The final patina is also a lengthy finishing procedure achieved by years of know how at the Alden factory.

Vegetable tanned leather insoles provide comfort and long wear; it assumes over time the contours of your foot shape giving a truly custom quality to the fit. Beneath the insole is a layer of cork, providing additional resilience and insulation. Every Alden New England shoe carries a tempered steel shank, precisely contoured and triple ribbed for extra strength. 

Truly the backbone of a fine welt shoe or boot, the shank provides the proper support and shape required to give comfort throughout the day. Oak tanned leather bends are cut into outsoles at factory for maximum control of quality, crafted not only with good looks, but with the integrity of fine shoemaking, a special addition to your wardrobe.
