Among the many long-established shoe brands, Alden, a leading American shoe brand, has made two major contributions.

One key development was the Modified Last. In 1963, they improved upon a shoe last originally intended for orthodontic use, creating an innovative last that comfortably fits the arch of anyone's foot. It's been over 55 years since the V-tip shoe featuring this last was introduced, and its comfort remains unparalleled even today.

Furthermore, there's one more thing. In the 1960s, ALDEN saved cordovan from decline. Cordovan, which requires a lot of time and effort to finish, saw a sharp decline in demand due to the rise of calf leather. However, ALDEN , captivated by cordovan, refused to give it up. It's a well-known fact that they have a strong relationship of trust with Horween, the last remaining tannery at the time.

This spring, Alden unveiled a medallion-tip shoe that condenses two of its "symbols." The last molds to the soles of your feet from the very first wear, and the cordovan leather develops a glossy finish and unique creases over time. The collaboration of these two elements is a testament to the endurance of turbulent times.
