Wow, that's a wicked blog.  I am going to spend a lot of time looking and drooling at those pictures!  The author is an active participant on SF on the Alden thread!

since looking through this thread properly i was kind of put off with alden from reading giles' experience and their lack of customer care, but that blog really revs you up on to them!  some great pics and shoes.  the leathers look gorgeous.

i cant believe though how expensive the basic versions are from even a couple of years ago.

hi guys,

just a sizing question please.  i am a uk 8 and from what i understand is that you translate that in us sizing then size down .5 for the trubalance last.  i always thought a uk 8 was a us 9, therefore i would need an 8.5 in the indy.  however, i have looked at quite a few size conversion charts and they all seem to say different things, so now i am doubting what to get.

can anyone shed any light on this for me please as i would rather not have to return any items due to incorrect sizing.

many thanks

Found this interesting read on the "Indy" boots that Harrison Ford made famous:

So, if Harrison was a fan prior to filming, there may be some Blade Runner Alden we are completely unaware of…...cause what Indiana Jones was filmed, maybe, a year before BR?

I really wish they'd bring back the black lady calf version of these because I'm in desperate need of some black (perf) captoe dress boots.
