If you wear a size 9.5, 10, or 12 (D), you’re in luck. It looks like someone picked up a bunch of dead stock (firsts, BNIB) shell tassel loafers from BB at fire sale prices. They are being offered at $365 shipped, which is roughly half the $728 retail price. I already own some, but couldn’t resist picking up a back-up pair at that price. A steal!

Thank you for sharing. I would have bought another in 10D but just bought 2 new pairs, one Alden and one Brooks for Alden at their reduced price but not this good. As much a good deal this is, I cannot justify a 3rd identical pair.

Thanks for the tip. I clicked on the seller and looked at their other items. They have several different Alden options. I didn't need #8 tassels but I have been looking for a pair of brown dress does and found a pair that I liked.

Good call, given that they get better and better and last easily three decades or more.

Price is $410 now.

Same seller is selling Edward Green shoes at half price.

Interesting. He did indeed raise the price to $410. I wonder what prompted the increase, after selling 66 pairs since April 5th at $365 apiece.

Looking back at the seller's history, I now see that he also sold nine pairs of Alden/BB color 8 LHS loafers in my size (9D) for $385 each! Wish I had seen those.

Sure you can...don't underestimate your ability to rationalize such a purchase! I didn't and look where that has gotten me. LOL. :crazy:

If you wear a 10D in AE Grayson and all other AE shoes, what size would fit in the Shell Tassles?

10D

If you're considering buying a pair, I would suggest sending a message to the seller asking if he would honor the $365 price at which he sold his prior 66 pairs.

 

[Corcovado]

I suspect that he sold so many, so fast at that price that he realized he had priced them lower than he needed to.

I DID!!! Just bought another color 8 LHS, my second, this time from the Brooks site as they were on sale and back in stock. I rationalized that it was a completely different shoe as the Alden version were lined and the BB were unlined.

Why did you post this... WHY?

I wonder if my BB $200 off $500 will work for the sale shoes??

I wear a 10 in all shoes including all AE; I assume I need a 9.5D for the LHS?

Thanks again for sharing the link.

So did mine. Unfortunately I'm out of town.

Maiden trip outside for the new pair. Man, these things are sweet.

Now, do I sell the old ones (still in great shape on original soles), or keep them as back up? Hmmm....

^^My friend, your new kicks are stunningly handsome
...but, but you can never sell an old friend!

By the way, I snapped a couple pics yesterday of the shoes that are presumably meant to replace the Alden line at BB. The word fugly comes to mind.....
