Monk Facts

Have you ever put on a shoe and thought: “Something’s wrong, this feels more like a luxurious slipper!” If you haven’t then you had better try the Alden Chukka. With its wonderfully soft unlined calf suede and exclusive Flex-Welt, this is the most immediately comfortable boot money can buy. The chukka style is named for its resemblance to traditional polo boots (each period of play in polo is called a ‘chukker’). As a casual ankle boot, this looks amazing with jeans, cords or cotton trousers; but be warned, these are such a treat to wear that you will never want to put on anything else. Alden: the greatest American shoemaker, period. Charles H Alden founded The Alden Shoe Company in Middleborough, Massachusetts in 1884. Throughout the company’s history, Alden has relied upon maintaining its reputation for high-quality craftsmanship. While most shoe manufacturing shifted overseas during the latter 20th Century, Alden has prospered as a maker of comfortable, durable and handsome dress shoes.
