    Alden No.8 as far as I am concerned is a dark brown, unlike some burgundy shoes which are more red tinted. It also is quite dark when new at least.

    Hence it’s versatility. It is the best dark brown color, and the best burgundy color, and can pass for black.

    I have read it has an acrylic glaze; also that it is “glazed,” meaning essentially polished with some sort of machine possible called a jack (?). May be some confusion of terms here, but whatever they do I like it.

    I am covered for formal occasions, for me it is more chinos/jeans setup.
    By some reason UK market doesn't have any burgundy cordovan shoes on offer, only dark brown from CJ.

    I do look for dark brown, but with high colour saturation.
    As I have spotted CJ brown cordovan got some green hue.

    Your lessons aren’t working, Professor Higgins.

    More seriously, is there ever a time when “got” isn’t better replaced with another word?

    Despite my written English is far from perfect, I would kindly ask to stay on original topic.

    This is obviously a nice shoe - if you like it (I do) I think you will be happy with your intended purpose for wear.
