That is the big existential question: can one have too many suede shoes? I don't think so. Is it possible to own too many pairs of Aldens? No! Years in the making: my first collaboration with Alden, made possible thanks to Rivay.
Our mutual admiration for Alden’s unique American heritage footwear has led to these beautiful suede Alden Ranger Moccs. When we looked at the Alden collection, these Ranger Moccs stood out for the moccasin style and the Van last shape.
Made in a rich, beautiful lined suede. The style is quintessentially Alden and distinctly American. This style and material fit perfectly with the larger Rivay collection and sit nicely with the Bedford Boot, the other Rivay Alden special make-up. We're incredibly pleased with how this style came together as the first Rivay x ACL footwear collab.
I love loafers and wear them often, but I also wear a lot of ranger mocs. This pair is a utilitarian combination of those two styles. Rugged for everyday wear, but refined enough to dress up. Perfect for travel. Good for both city and country. Just an all-around great shoe, and I am glad we could create these together.
You talk to Alden and work on these ideas months in advance — there’s a certain amount of imagination required. You’re always excited about what’s possible, but nothing compares to seeing the finished pair in person.
