    i don't know Indy, but i do know the Iron Heart Alden thread 😶

    & some pretty good sources, that stays mum when a lot of bull$hit is flying about different brands let his thoughts be heard.

    that was enough for me

      word…the complaints in that thread (and a few new ones from a few other peops!) changed my mind about getting a pair of Aldens. even if i was all over them back in the days...but i'd rather spend a few more bucks on some vibergs or yuketens from which i know that i won't have those quality issues in the end.

        I keep my black ones clean, but don't worry about my brown ones.

            Only have brown Indys. Not really a fan of black boots, though I do have a pair of black Tricker's I wear sparingly.

            I've had Frye before, no problems with them thus far.

              nope i don't.  i think they aren't really made for that (despite advertising  :-X) & have heard waaay too many stories from folks with quality control issues

              pretty boot yes, rugged er. . . . ahm . . . .

              Granted, I have only used mine for six months, but they have been my everyday beaters and have kept up wonderfully so far. Ill get back to you in a few years;)

              Seize the day and don't you cry.

                So far so good with me as well, been
                Hiking in mine several times. I did have a problem with my 1st pair and Alden fixed it immediately. Maybe their service is different when you buy directly from an Alden store. When I received my 2nd pair I asked the store manager if these were strictly made for looks instead of use. His reply was they are work boots beat the hell out of them.

                            Went crazy today with Alden's…gotta tell someone. I have gone all boots and discovered how great Alden's are. BUT they are difficult to find the right last, the right leather in your size.
                            I had never looked on ShoeMart so today I went online and scored a Ravello cordovan wingtip boot with welting....what a score..the perfect color for this boot.
                            Then I went to mouldedshoe website and they had just put up a boot in brown chrome excel with a perforated cap in modified last. Called immediately and had them hold the 12...then in a cab to pick them up..The modified last is totally the bomb....my feet are in heaven.
                            Now...I feel better getting all this off my chest...

                                          If I did not have a "not buy Alden" policy, so would I…....Strange, but true...
