The direct answer to your question is to call the Alden shops -- NY, DC, SF. Or try theshoemart.com.

But there's more to it. Different Aldens are built on different lasts. If you wear a size 10 Nike, you could be anywhere between a size 8.5 - 10.5 in Aldens. You need to figure out yor sizing on different lasts, then decide what fits best. Then go hunting for the shell color on that last and style you like.

Easiest way to get fitted is to go to one of the Alden shops if you're anywhere close to them. Otherwise, it's tough and you need to do your research and then basically guess at your last-specific sizing.
