When it comes to proper shoes, a classic blucher is a simple, straightforward shoe that will always ensure you’re wearing the “right shoes.” Perhaps that’s why this is the most popular shoe of all time for Alden. And that says a lot for a company that’s been crafting quality footwear since 1884. This pair is made from shell cordovan (the hardwearing leather from horsehide), so it’s all but guaranteed to last a lifetime.
