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

If I'm a size 12 in let's say vans, what size would I want tO purchase in a pair of Indys? Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

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.

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

i'm with FurattoHeddo, get measured proper like.  if you have a high instep or webbed feet it can really throw off the sizing.  everyone is trying to help but just look at the sizing differences for each person 

my best fitting indy's are an 8D i'm a comfortable 9 in most vans

*what's wrong with a high instep it doesn't make me a freak

kudu longwings are soooo good.

think about 500 USD to the states

Thank you everyone for your advice and help. It is much appreciated.

all you Alden freaks i heard J.Crew is having a sale on all Alden boots in stock, but you have to call in the order.  sorry i wish i had more info on it . . .

[bagley920]

What's the discount? Are they not carrying them anymore?

[madmonday]

sorry not really sure.

**i know a piece of a story sucks but i figure if anyone is really interested they could do some research. no harm, no foul

[kit99bar]

The 30% off no shipping coupon worked on them a few days ago

I can't figure out where iron heart fits into the upcoming collab boot(s) with self edge and leathersoul, other than the fact that there's a jean coming at the same time (and I can't figure out what leathersoul has to do with that)

whole thing seems a little odd considering the general consensus around here about Alden

[derivative666]

^does anyone have a photo of the boot?

[bagley920]

Maybe you can express your concerns at some point during the collab process G

[jacoavlu]

my guess is iron heart doesn't really have much to do with the footwear (I think there's a boot and a shoe) I think it's just a timing/event thing. I could be wrong and we don't have to discuss this further but I don't expect to see any IH branding on the footwear
