      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

                    http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=1524

                    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.

                                    I have the boots, and I don't feel that they are restrictive for driving or any other activity, the heel/Achilles swoop make them sit quite tight and with a complete lack of heel-slippage.

                                    Seize the day and don't you cry.
