Beautiful, Jestre.

Selling my Indy boots (9.5 Trubalance) if anyone's looking for a pair.

[JamesMarg]

Hi forum :),
I'm thinking of buying some Indy's, and i would love an opinion on the sizing and colour!
I wear a size 9.5 in red wing chukkas, and i'm wanting to upgrade… hehehe
I'm also not sure what colour to buy, as the pictures probably don't do the boots justice colour wise.
Any experiences with certain colours?
What goes with the most things etc.

Thanks guys and gals!

I had the 405's if I was gonna do it again I would wait and get the next batch of Leather Soul x Alden Ultimate Indy boot. They have commando soles. I was always a 1/2 size smaller on my Indys than my Red Wing Gentlemen's Travelers.

I had the leather sole on my Officer Indy Boots from Epaulet resoled with a commando sole when the original sole wore out. Couldn't be happier. I had to have it done at Moulded Shoe tho because Alden won't switch soles anymore.

Alden has become the grumpy old man of the shoe industry. I still love the shoes/boots, but the way they do business is very old school. I particularly enjoyed the handwritten invoice that came with my factory direct shipment from them.

Get off my lawn!

[Giles]

Get a handwritten invoice from Russell too.  Love it, but they are not really of this world…...

[ben2t]

what you guys think of this, it says pre order PT boots for $108?

[JLG]

^ that's a non-refundable 20% down payment to reserve your pair with the remainder due when the boots are ready to be shipped.

[ben2t]

i know something is wrong on the website listing, thanks for the clarification.

[rocket]

yeah no hope for a $108 pair of new Aldens  ;), think they are $540 in the end…

[superfuzz]

Man Alden's have really gone up in price! I think my first Indys were $400. I don't like the look of the brass speed hooks.
