New Alden Shoes: Dutton Commando Sole Bluchers

We always get excited about new  Alden shoes. These latest arrivals are particularly exciting because they feature the popular Commando Sole! 

The New Alden Dutton Blucher

Alpine Grain calfskin leathers meet commando soles for an exquisitely-balanced casual shoe. We love the way this style looks with chinos. 

The Dutton is great for transitioning from Summer to Autumn. Whether you're heading to Block Island's Oyster Festival or taking a scenic drive to appreciate the fall foliage, these 3-eyelet bluchers are perfect for your weekend getaways. The tasteful silhouette blends in effortlessly with any casual setting and the rugged yet refined commando sole won't let you down.

This elegant style is on the Alden Hampton Last, well known for it's sleek look and roomy toe box. This last runs true to size for most of our customers.

Alpine Grain Calf Colors

940C

The 940C is the darkest of our new styles in Black Alpine Grain calfskin leather. An antique welt meets Black Commando soles and brings the whole look together. 

941C 

Alden's 941C features Dark Brown Alpine Grain calfskin leather with an antique welt and Smoke-colored Commando soles. 

942C

The 942C features Brown Alpine Grain calfskin leather that's a bit lighter and richer than the Dark Brown. It is finished with a complimenting brown welt and Smoke Commando sole. You can see the difference between the Smoke and Black commando soles in the outdoor pictures for the 940C and 942C.

Style Tip

Want to switch it up? The 3-eyelet Dutton comes with 24-inch round waxed cordo laces. Add a pop of color by trading them out with more adventurous laces or show off your favorite pair of stylish socks. Our  30-inch Alden dress shoe laces come in black and brown. With a little skill and some aglets, you can trim them up to the desired length.
