They represent a reproduction of military shoes so someone here on the lounge maybe knows where I can find something similar for spring/summer and from an european shoemaker.
thanks

There's Buzz Rickson in Japan, but you're looking at exactly the same price. The Aldens will be expensive because they're limited, they're Aldens and they're a WWII item (in a way). $440 is exactly what they can expect to get for them too.

Several years ago Scotrace found a deal on some Bates shoes from copshoes.com on close out for $20 - they weren't super awesome but I wore mine for years before gifting them to someone else. You may hunt around for them I don't know if they're still made.
