Alden #906 Straight Cap Toe Balmoral Oxford in a deep burgundy calfskin, an understated, old-world dress shoe silhouette executed with Alden’s New England restraint.
About Alden: Founded in 1884 in Middleborough, Massachusetts, Alden remains one of the enduring American makers of genuine-welted dress footwear, built for long service life and future resoles when cared for.
Design notes: The #906 is a straight cap-toe “Bal” (closed-lacing balmoral) oxford—clean lines, minimal ornament, and a color that reads brown indoors and oxblood in brighter light. Ideal with navy, charcoal, flannel, tweed, or a sharp worsted suit; equally good for interviews, formal office wear, and events where you want quiet quality rather than flash.
