@68degreesorless those look really good

My wife found these at the goodwill bins recently and paid about $4.50 USD(they charge by weight there). They are a bit beat but fit me perfectly. I’m not much of a loafer guy but these could persuade me. I’m now considering if I want to invest in a resole and other restoration.

I am fortunate enough to own boots from Alden (405), White's, WESCO, Truman, and Trickers...I'm sorry to say that my Aldens run a distant 5th on that list. They are nice boots, but their $650 price tag is simply head scratching. I picked mine up a few years ago from Baker's Boots and they ran me around $450 at the time. IIRC it was during a 20% sale. The Indy I own is a great boot but I'm just not seeing anything that justifies the price tag. The leather is a simple chromexcel, stitching is very clean but otherwise unremarkable, and they are not as comfortable as these other brands. They are comfortable but not anywhere near as comfortable as my White's made on their 55 last. I don't regret my purchase, and the boots look great but I would purchase these other brands over Alden IMHO. YMMV

@djsazon those are very nice - lovely patina. I like how your legs look like they are made of the same material as the floor
