    I have a boot question as well.  I'm trying to decide whether a chisel-toe boot fits well with a heavy jean such as Ironheart or if it's too sleek/delicate.  Any opinions?  Below you can see some pics of RM Williams craftsman with Ironhearts.

      DrPat,
        I have no issues with the look in the top picture, but the top view exposes the sleekness of the boots. I like a chunky boot for my denim but that is just my opinion. Sorry I can be of more help…

        hey guys,

        for 6 months i have been using the red wing gentlemans traveller (in black) and have been loving them.

        i have been thinking about getting a pair of the new 1000 mile boots (in black) from wolverine. there are enough differences for me to convince myself, but maybe not for my wife!

        http://www.wolverine.com/us/1000mile

        isnt kiya getting some boot collabs going? its been awhile since i heard any news on that front. you gotta know they will rock.

          I've got two pairs of "nice" boots, and they're both Red Wings (it helps that I live in MN).  One of them is a really beat up pair of 875 that smell something awful, and the other are the Red Wing x J Crew model (rugged classic) that I have been trying to keep in decent shape.  I have been thinking of adding another pair to the stable sometime soon as well.

            DrPt, I have exactly the same pair of RM Williams and I wear them regularly with my 634S.

            Malibuboy thanks for the hint on the Wolverines, they look great.

                        MAJOR BOOT NEWS!!!!!

                        so i was over at alden yesterday to try and get some formal shoes for my tux. (what ? no IH tux simon?) i nearly bought a set of black cordovan chucka boots in black (dept. of redundancy dept.) but they were still 5 hundy even on sale! i might go back friday and p/u a pair anyway. talkabout well made shoes. its just that i wasnt expecting to drop 5 hundy on shoes i dont really need.BUT MAYBE I DO…....
                        but... i digress.

                        so i was asking about the indy and the only thing that was holding me back was the color. well.... things are changing for the indy. there are new pairs on the way in dark chocolate brown, and there are soon to be black pairs also available.

                        the black version will be available by feb 2010!

                        i , for one, will be all over a new set of indy's in black.

                        well, i was excited.

                        so there!

                          Simon, what is the address of the Alden Store located near you? Does anyone know of any Alden stores closer to the Bay Area or stores who carry the brand? Looking into getting my self a pair sometime in the future but it is something I must size in person. Thanks for any and all info!

                                hey Lando!

                                did i mention they are having a sale? 170 sutter. hit the website for a preview.

                                and just in case you need a good suggestion, hit Tadich Grill for lunch while you are there. they open at 1130 IIRC.

                                fortune favors the prepared.

                                    Personally i cannot see by Timberland Mocc's. But i really did wish that another premium manufacturer would make some identical so i'd have some more choice. Like these:
