Most of our customers find that the Alden Grant Last runs true to size, but some size down by a half size. The Grant Last is roomy, but not quite as accomodating as the Barrie Last, and slightly less generous than the Hampton. There are no Alden stock models made on the Grant Last, but we think it's a great fitting last for boots.
The Grant Last is a sleek last that will accomodate a neutral instep and average width heel. It is especially great for wearing with thicker weight socks.
You can find all of our make-ups on the Alden Grant Last in our Color8 virtual catalog. You can also view our Alden Grant Last boots at TheShoeMart.com.
Recently, we ran an "Alden Fit Fact Friday" e-mail newsletter series. The aim of this series was to share details about the different Alden Lasts to help you find your perfect fit. We are adding some of this information here to help enhance your Alden experience.
The 4060 is our Alden Bootmaker Edition Color 8 Shell Cordovan cap toe boot on the Grant Last. Popular for its sleek design, this straight tip boot comes with 9 matched agatine eyelets.
Alden Shell Cordovan boots are tanned with a traditional, pure vegetable tanning process and are hand finished. This process takes a full six months to complete in the single tannery still producing genuine shell cordovan today. The resulting leather is soft, supple, and made to last. As time goes on, this Cap Toe Boot will assume the contours of your foot, providing an excellent fit that feels like it was custom-tailored to you. Each Alden New England boot offers breathable comfort that lasts all day long. A layer of cork underneath the insole provides both insulation and resilience. A tempered steel shank is expertly contoured within each boot and triple ribbed for extra strength. The shank provides a backbone to keep the shape of a fine welt boot and additionally offers remarkable support for lasting comfort.
