Thanks for posting that info, Troy! Folks might even go into a local orthopedic shoe store and ask. It's likely they could order the Aldens, even if they don't stock them. That's how I got my first pair when I lived in Fot Wayne, Indiana. But this is a helpful list, especially for those who would rather get them in person, instead of waiting by the mailbox.

Most excellent. Good research. Illinois

I got a similar list several years back and none of them carried the 405. They all carried the dress shoes, but not the boots. I hope that's changed.

Hasn't changed, but they can order them. Which is nice, for those who want to be fitted first. Illinois

Good news to know if I decide to purchase Aldens. Now at least I know there are local retailers. Thanks for the info.

I figured that if these guys don't have them in the store then, at least, they would be a good place to get fitted for them and order...wish the Alden website had a master list you could browse. Cheers,

What kind of master list are you looking for, a store list or a catalog of shoe styles? If the later, go here:

http://www.aldenshoe.com/

There are different offerings under the various menu items. You can also find stores which carry Aldens under the "stores" button.

Ok, didn't notice the link up on the site for some reason. Thanks Bink.

Just for info, I bought my Aldens at Giesche shoes a few years back, and their prices and customer service were top notch... if I remember correctly, they sold them to me for $10 less than what they are advertised for on Alden's website. They also carry the full line of Alden dress shoes, should you find yourself needing a pair to go with your tweed "lecture" suit...
