Tanner Goods and Alden Cap Off an Exclusive Alden

Introducing different groups of friends is high-risk, but high-reward. Things could really go south, but if these people get along, your social life will improve tenfold. And I feel something similar when two brands that I adore meet up for a collaboration.

Famed bootmaker Alden has made a boot for the good people at Tanner Goods, and the results — a Cap Toe Boot that come in a rich black suede called Earth Chamois Reverse — are extraordinary. The round toe, mid-height boot is made on a Barrie last with a flat welt, and speed hooks make for a boot that’s easy to get on and off. Made in New England like all of Alden’s great footwear, this boot can be easily resoled so it’ll last you this fall and also the rest of your life.
