The use of leatherboard and even plastic has been common in American shoes since the 1950s. Alden has not been cutting corners as some claim but has been making their boots/shoes the same way forever. Even the og Florsheim (not the modern shell of a brand) made their shoes with leatherboard and/or plastic and they’re considered the peak of American shoemaking. If you actually watch Steves videos you know that Alden and vintage Florsheim are his favorites.
