Is there ANY other shoe like Alden modified last? It's the only comfortable shoe I've ever worn, but availability is limited in my size and it's expensive to build out a collection

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but this is far more likely to be answered on reddit but of course try the big main brands and for a boot type last i'd say American is probably how you wanna go, not some place like Italian

what's your size my n-word. I just got my first pair, love them. they almost feel too big, but they aren't. i've just been tortured my whole life by my freakish foot shape that literally no other shoe (probably) is designed to fit.Like the color on those, not a huge fan of moc toes boots, but maybe i'll come around.let me know if you find something else. i'm thinking of doing some cheaper custom made south american shoes.

The only shoes I ever wear anymore after discovering the modified last are my LL Bean Duck Boots. They're extremely roomy all over, so you don't get the same benefit as the narrow heel on the modified last, but the heel is decently cupped and the uppers are stiff enough that if I lace them tightly they keep my heel locked in. Because they're so deep, you can put any arch support or orthotics you want in them. The rubber is very flexible and conforms very well to my foot shape. If you have misshapen (hammer) toes like me, you'll have to wear thick wool socks every time you wear them or the rubber will irritate your toesI use the Natural Foot Orthotics Original Stabilizer, which is the only over-the-counter-product I've found that comes close to having a high enough arch for me AND ALSO Nick's Delta Arch insoles, which are leather insoles that are built up in the inner archhttps://www.naturalfootorthotics.com/products/original-stabilizerhttps://nicksboots.com/products/deltaarch-full

I think the next experiment I'd like to try is the munson last. I found this on a a manufacturer's website and it sounds a lot like what I like about the modified last:>Because our shoes are designed with a narrow waist that wraps the side of the arch from above like a leather sock, it keeps it supported but lets it expand and contract to stay in place and to get strong.https://saddlebackleather.com/orthopedic-shoe-shape-last-form?srsltid=AU7gw4Xbfnci1JqfzpNH8hlafq16_FjUl9B2iNljf09C2fAhs4YAz34t

Have any of you found a loafer that works with high arches and a narrow heel?

What soles do you guys get on your moddies? I like the neocork, but I'm not sure if the Thomas heel that comes with it changes the geometry of the shoe in a way that's bad for me since I supinate. I think when I get a pair re-heeled I'd like to try a normal or even reverse-thomas heel
