The Aberdeen last is Alden's most true last. This means that out of all the lasts Alden uses, the Aberdeen fits most like a traditional dress shoe. This trim and well-proportioned last makes a great foundation for sleek boots, dress shoes, and loafers.
The Aberdeen features a slightly taped toe that has a soft drop-off, and is extremely versatile. It runs a bit long to help accomodate most feet with a neutral instep.
Watch in this video as our very own Joe Zapatka discusses the profile and fitting properties of the Aberdeen Last.
