I bet they are quality but they're not the business. No offense but they look like orthopedic old man shoes, you can't be rocking those with the dope turtle necks that you bought from Suit Supply.
Yeah Alden's are quite bulky because they have a more traditional English last which are generally wider. I actually wear inserts in them
@GigoloGeoff I do like AEs but they tend to not be as comfortable for me.
But many of my other shoes are Spanish/Italian. I sort of gotten rid of most of my Allen Edmonds. I had some of the AE Strands and they were too tight on me. Many of the Aldens as you mentioned were too bulky.
Most of my shoes outside of my athletic stuff.
