Monk Facts

There is nothing that screams ‘Ivy League style’ like the Alden Leisure Handsewn. With its high-walled, round-toed style it oozes a relaxed sense of assuredness and power. Its low-cut vamp and hand-sewn apron also make it deceptively elegant, so much so that you could definitely look sharp wearing them with a suit. This pair is the classic model in Color 8 cordovan from the Horween tannery. Though it can be worn with a suit, its ideal match would be the sports coat and trousers, but in the warmer months you can even pair it with shorts. So versatile and yet so dignified, the Leisure Handsewn is the original and the best. Alden: the greatest American shoemaker, period. Charles H Alden founded The Alden Shoe Company in Middleborough, Massachusetts in 1884. Throughout the company’s history, Alden has relied upon maintaining its reputation for high-quality craftsmanship. While most shoe manufacturing shifted overseas during the latter 20th Century, Alden has prospered as a maker of comfortable, durable and handsome dress shoes.
