      Those ones in the middle look eerily similar to the SExIH Alden boot, except darker

        @LandoCal126:

        George, thank you so much for your helpful description. Just based on that I plan on sending my pair of Vibram Trail Oxfords back to you all at some point in the next few months so they are fresh for Spring/ Summer. One last question if you don't mind. Does the shoe get re seemed? Will the different parts of the shoe be tightened together? I am just wondering if it is tightened while on the last or is it simply placed on the last and left for 24-48 hours? Thank You

        Hey Lando,
        We don't re-seem the shoe.  However, when you re-last the shoe, the last is incredibly tight within the shoe - so it doesn't just sit in the shoe - it does regain shape.  Hope that makes sense.

                              Yours are navy, right?.. These will be cherry… So unless you were blessed with b/w vision, these will be considerably different...

                                No, I have the dark brown, about 4 posts up. I'm guessing the cherry would be more reddish

                                    Hmmm, not sure those are different enough for me…

                                        Just picked up a pair of the trail shoes in brown from Independence in Chicago. These shoes are amazing. I put them on and proceeded to walk all over Chicago in comfort. The leather is rediculous. I almost want to roast some potatoes and greens and pour some sauce all over the leather it's so aromatic and oily. Originally was going to go for the navy cxl, but I figured the brown would be more suitable for my needs. One of the guys at Independence had a well worn pair of the navy and they almost had an indigo denim transformation going on..  The navy was starting to turn a teal color in places of wear.  Beautiful.

                                          That cherry color gets to me. These might be my next purchase as far as shoes.
