ALDEN

[derivative666]

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...

I take a 11.5 in Vans and took an 11 in Indys when I had them. I would say you should go with a 11.5. I am sure some others with more experience/ pairs could help.

My advise is to get yourself measured on a Brannock device to know your correct size and width, your average Footlocker or Sports Authority and so on will have such a device, then go 1/2 size down for your Indy's (they are on a Trubalance last) …

I'm a 12 vans old school and a 11.5D fit perfect in the Alden 405.

[riffblaster general]

i'm a 10.5 in vans and wear a 9 in indys.
