^ they look good! Is leather oil, Obenaufs or similar, the recommended treatment for Indy's? I've had mine for a couple of months and they're now looking in need of some care, but I was concerned that whatever I used would colour the stitching or sole edge.

Gents:
I Recently procured two pair of stock Alden cap-toes (style# 2160 and 972). Given that my place of work is on the casual side, I took them to my cobbler to customize and "dress them down." I had him strip the black edges for a more neutral edge, apply exposed brass eyelets, and apply a rubber half sole. Here are some pics:

wow ??? …way way better imo! love the transformation of both of them. looks like you´ve got a great cobbler in your town as well. super well done

Pigs may fly this year, I agree with @Finn666

Great looking shoes & ballsy move to do that to the shoes

[tmg]

That's a great improvement, and I know some prefer the black edge, but I think the natural edge always looks classier

Circling back, whiskeys with some wear on em.  Happy Friday everybody

Beautiful shoes, plan to get some of the NST boots at some point as I really like that style

Can everybody else see that pic from the prior post?  Coming up on my screen… hmm

[madmonday]

Can see it away from work.

When I'm at work I can't see it.

Nice shoes by the way.

Anyone preorder the LeatherSoul  x SelfEdge Aldens?

Wish I'd known about that earlier, would have been sorely tempted to join

^this

[madmonday]

Yeah it's a shame. I didn't see anything about them either until I was on the Leather Soul site trolling for a pair of boots.

I see a lot of very similar make-ups from Japan town, but they are usually as expensive as a virgin in a whore house.
