ALDEN

[jacoavlu]

it certainly is public but frankly I don't think most people have taken notice, so much other great denim dropping around here lately

[deadendpro]

i've seen kiya's in person and man, they are some nice shoes. congrats to all who will be picking these bad boys up. def interested, but doubt i will collect enough scratch with so much else requiring attention

looks like the LSxSE joints are only going to be stocked at LSW & LSBH.

at least per this:

[Finn666]

who sells them?
they look pretty sexy tbh…

here´s another pair i saw today...

waxed calf leather, Trubalance last, tan Dakota upper, all around Goodyear welt construction with white stitching, flat brown cotton laces, 9 painted agatine eyelets and a white Vibram outsole.

Very nice oxfords. Just got a pair of Longwings (tobacco) on eBay for $168. Put new soles and heels on them and they are like new.

[jacoavlu]

I've seen several variations of the plain toe oxfords w vibram sole as makeups for Japan but they're very expensive, like 80000 yen

Any recommendations for a suede boot with plain toe with a sole that has a step and preferably has speed hooks? Can't really seem to find any still for sale in my size (8.5).

[madmonday]

those look better in your flicks than on the needsupply site.  can't say i'm a fan.  lando stop looking at them ugly a$$ shoes & come to your senses.

I think they look good!.. Says it all, Lando!..

Is there a little birdie out there that happens to know whether the Alden X SE boots are going to have speed hooks and if they're going to cost more than half a stack?
