Alden Perforated Cap Toe Balmoral in Shell Cordovan

The Alden Perforated Cap Toe Balmoral is formed on the Hampton Last.  It is considered a formal shoe, and is not really appropriate for casual attire.  The term Balmoral specifies that the shoe has a very narrow throat, where the laces are looped through a piece of leather that also forms the side of the shoe. The alternative design is called a "Blucher", where the laces are looped through separate leather flaps that are sewn on each side of the throat.

The Cap Toe Balmore is a conservative shoe with a little bit of flare, as compared to a strait-tip balmoral.
