      Dunno what's wrong with asking questions when interested in something???
      Just asked what other sizes you wear in different shoes/boots/sneakers and what the insole length of your pair is…nothing else mate!
      Just the normal questions one need to know the answers of, to find out if one can make these work or not!…

      Since I'm a US9 in most of my stuff I don't want to buy a US8.5 just to find out that I only can wear these with thin socks and shit...so I'll go with a US9 and KNOW that these gonna be a good fit…

      Really dunno why you being mad now...

        nothing's wrong with questions.  just when you get an answer to said question say what your intention is.  pretty straight forward & don't send me a pm saying i'm not interested after i put up my message here & then say what i'm mad about in the public forum.

        keep your story the same in public & behind closed doors.

        i'm just say we don't do it like that on this side  😠  pretty weaksauce if you ask me

        damn, i'm a bastard, letting the real me show

            Sizing advice is…. tough... best bet is to just jump in and get one and go from there. Every person's foot is different and there's a million things that will affect the fit: how tight you tie your laces, socks, etc etc. I'd suggest you go with a stockist that can work with you to determine the closest match for your size and will accept a return in case it still doesn't work out. Since you are in Germany, that might be harder but I think most of the online stockists ship internationally.

              Thanks for the advice mate but no Alden stockists here in town…need to just go for it to find out the perfect size!
              It's like when choosing a new pair of denim 🙂

                Hey guys, i have a few newbie questions here..:

                Firstly..where can you get alden shoes online since there's no stockists here in Perth..

                And second, how is the quality on these shoes? (pretty good from what i'm reading) and do they last long?

                Im really interested in buying a suede chukka boot but does suede last long? and are they hard to maintain?

                I drive a lot so which model do you think is best for me? I want good durability and comfy for both walking and driving (I'm gonna wear this daily)

                Thanks guys!

                  for regular items - try theshoemart - they don´t have the best customer service but a realtively big stock …

                  the chukka is a great choice for driving and walking , but I would rather put my money down for a pair of Indy´s

                  best service - www.leathersoulhawaii.com - talk to Tom …

                      hi beats

                      Thanks for the infos!

                      Do you recommend getting suede? Aren't indys too restrictive to drive with?

                          Sorry for the loads of question guys but..

                          How do you take care of leather shoes? Just oil them like the leather patches on our jeans? (i use horse oil the one available on the website)

                              the extra toe cap stitching is different, plus eyeletts and sole construction

                              the unlined clicks due to thin sole when walking.

                              I wear the Indys when driving, no problem..and better for walking..if u want real comfy - crepe sole

                              they are great for fall and colder days as well..

                                I already ordered some obenauf LP Seul 🙂

                                Beats, are your indys the indy oxford like the one in the link I gave to you or is it a different one?

                                        Unless you're actually wanting to use it on a boat. Sperry's patent siping soles have no equal for grip on wet surface.

                                          I have a pair of Alden Indys and can't recommend these enough. Comfortable, sturdy, beautiful and well.. everything you need in an everyday shoe.

                                          Seize the day and don't you cry.
