Alden’s Norwegian Split Toe bluchers and boots are making a strong appearance this month, giving wingtips and Indy boots a run for their money. Context’s cordovan Tanker and Leather Soul’s forthcoming version in natural are just two examples of how this handsome and stately this style can be. Sewn by hand in the Alden factory, these prominent toe seams are versatile enough to give a rugged boot some balls and keep a dress shoe all business.

I’m not normally a big fan of the Norwegian split toe, or of monk straps, but, wow…together they look really great!
“these prominent toe seams are versatile enough to give a rugged boot some balls and keep a dress shoe all business” ooooooh I love it when when a guy with a shoe fetish uses vulagrisms to appear tough. Grow up and get a vocabulary.
Thank you Sir for your extremely helpful comment! I’m sure my readers will appreciate your contribution.
Thank god for your comment. Without it, I would never have thought of the word “testicles” in reference to these shoes.
