Thanks! but..They dont seem to have the model I want..Do you know any other store by any chance?

My local Alden stockist JUST refreshed their Indy boots. I rushed over and had my pic of sizes. I typically wear a 10 or 10.5 in athletic shoes but downsized to a 9.5 with lightweight smart wool socks. I'm loving the boots but they are heavy!

Great pick up

Oh, I did not know, maybe I should kop them. I need a new pair of black suit-kind of shoes.
Well, the questions is what sort of shoe you have from Alden in 10.5 BD which fits you well. If you´d tell us, we´ll tell you if this pair above will fit you or may not
I´d take em (because they would fit me, i´am a 10.5 BD Barrie/Trubal so 11BD Aberdeen fits great as well) but I do think that a black cap toe has to be made of cordovan because I don´t like the small creases of calf. just my 2 cents.

I have a pair of 10.5 alden indys (truebalance). And yeah, I should look for cordovan too, as I have a pair of calf tan wingtips which has very small wrinkles, not sexy bulges.
well, to have it said: the pair above would fit. but to have that said either: good choice on not buying..

comparing the alden 403 and 405, is the Horween Chromexcel that much better as compared to the full grain waxhide leather?
Also, am I right to say that the main difference between the 403 and 405 is the colour tone and the upper sole?
i'd prefer the lighter colour tone of the 405, but prefer the chromexcel of the 403. mmm.

Alden Indy (or any type of Alden boots)
size 9.5 or 10 or 10.5
please PM me if anybody here want to sell this item…... -
i like chromexcel though it can´t compeed with shell cordovan of course. actually i would not buy someting else from alden (grained shell, yeah, but thats impossible to find though)
the indy boots are cool, buy what you like. two tips. i prefer the blind eyelets with speedhooks and make sure to get a pair with 360° welt stitching (though this is much more important than the hook-question)

Just brought my 405's back to Alden of New York to send out for repair. The stitching is coming apart on the top of the boot, speed hooks are all bent, and sole is splitting. The boots are only a month old. Tried to have them give me new boots but, that didnt work out for me. Hopefully will have them back within the next two weeks. All I can say is I beat the shit out of my 2 year Redwing's and they are in much better condition then my 1 month old Alden's.
