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.

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

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

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.

A mate of mine is selling his cordovan (colour #8) cap toe boots, size 8:

^damn what a nice pair that #8 leather is gonna be my next one when i ever need a pair of boots again!

tigerpac

^^I've been looking for that exact pair (or no cap toe)… but in a 10 - close but no cigar!

Think I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair of #8 shell boots from Alden.

What do you guys think: Plain-toe or Cap-toe?

Finn666

^since i'm too lazy to google those feckers up…post some pics

tigerpac

A fair point.. something close to

vs.

I'm a big fan of toe cap, but out of those two I prefer plain. Both look amazing.

Chris

^^This is exactly how I feel.

Peter

same here, what they said!

Arabit

Plain. Cap toe takes away the sleekness of the boots

superfuzz

Are those both on the Plaza last? I've never been a huge fan of that last, but the plain toe looks nice!

Trubalance last. Have a pair in Brown calf that are great. Leaning towards plain toe, should show off the character of the shell add they age more.

Edit Or at least the ones I'm looking at buying are trubalance. Think those pics are as well but not 100% sure.
