Attracted by the minimalist look of these shoes, I picked up a pair of "36051" shoes from Alden. The shoes are made in one piece. One-piece" literally means a single piece of leather upper. This is a specification that requires high quality leather and skilled craftsmanship.
By eliminating even the stitching, the beauty of the silhouette emerges. The wooden pattern used is the Aberdeen last. The tight, aggressive round shape brings elegance to a well-made shoe. As fans know, this is the wooden pattern that was used for the tassel moccasins ordered by Oscar-winning actor Paul Lucas.
The minimalist design allows you to fully enjoy the charm of the shrink leather and lady's calf, both of which are known for their grainy texture. The combination with the Leisure III sole, which consists of ultra-thin rubber and a stacked heel, is a steel-plated construction that has been highly acclaimed at every turn in recent years.
Slip-ons have been attracting attention for a long time because of the elegant slouchiness that sneakers lack, but when it comes to well-welted shoes, the options are scarce. The "36051" is a nonchalant pair that traditionalists should target.
This slip-on is built with carefully examined specifications and looks great on a weekday.
