That's one of the finest reasonings I've seen posted here. I wasn't trying to dump on your initial posting, I was just taken aback by the price. You have thought it through and you have made your decision based on what makes you happy. That's the key. I hope you like them; I'd be interested in hearing what you think. Thanks for sharing.

: True, but if you have Aldens and want something else (good example, me: have Wested Raiders and US Wings TOD-style), then they are worth a look.
: And they are semi orthopedic (as Aldens really are) with a cork footbed.
: I think it's foolish to order Aldens without a proper fitting (or any orthopedic shoe, for that matter) as you defeat the primary design goal.
: I have to believe they were selected for the orthopedic quality as the talent (Ford) would be standing around in them all day in weird locales.
: You shouldn't value your own feet any less!!!!
: These might be a better choice for the mail order person who doesn't want to rely on luck for proper fit...
: Anyway, I just was/am sharing a link; not endorsing or de-dorsing ;-)
: I'll likely buy a pair anyway -- the style appeals to me and as a daily by-foot commuter, wear boots a lot.
