Did somebody say Whiskey? 

Got these several months ago but never got around to posting (I don't think anyway, sorry if its a double!)  Here they are when they were new

[louisbosco]

Fresh coat of Obenauf's Leather Oil.

^ they look good! Is leather oil, Obenaufs or similar, the recommended treatment for Indy's? I've had mine for a couple of months and they're now looking in need of some care, but I was concerned that whatever I used would colour the stitching or sole edge.

Gents:
I Recently procured two pair of stock Alden cap-toes (style# 2160 and 972). Given that my place of work is on the casual side, I took them to my cobbler to customize and "dress them down." I had him strip the black edges for a more neutral edge, apply exposed brass eyelets, and apply a rubber half sole. Here are some pics:

wow ??? …way way better imo! love the transformation of both of them. looks like you´ve got a great cobbler in your town as well. super well done

[madmonday]

Pigs may fly this year, I agree with @Finn666

Great looking shoes & ballsy move to do that to the shoes

[tmg]

That's a great improvement, and I know some prefer the black edge, but I think the natural edge always looks classier

Circling back, whiskeys with some wear on em.  Happy Friday everybody

Just kopped these #8 NST's from Leffot.

[tmg]

Beautiful shoes, plan to get some of the NST boots at some point as I really like that style

[tigerpac]

Can everybody else see that pic from the prior post?  Coming up on my screen… hmm

[madmonday]

Can see it away from work.

When I'm at work I can't see it.

Nice shoes by the way.

Anyone preorder the LeatherSoul  x SelfEdge Aldens?

[veloaudio]

MM, you can't ask that without providing a link [emoji1]

[madmonday]

u right,

http://leathersoul.com/2015/08/10/alden-shoe-lsxse-ii-pre-order/

is the best I can do at the moment. . .

Wish I'd known about that earlier, would have been sorely tempted to join

[veloaudio]

^this

[madmonday]

Yeah it's a shame. I didn't see anything about them either until I was on the Leather Soul site trolling for a pair of boots.

I see a lot of very similar make-ups from Japan town, but they are usually as expensive as a virgin in a whore house.
