@LandoCal126:

I said FUCK IT. Strapped them up and am gonna head out to Sid's Book Launch. They are boots and will be fine…

Good call. They will get beat up anyway. I understand its better to cause self-inflicted battle scars through wear though. Main thing is you're happy.

This came in today (excuse the plastic bags, No shoes on the carpet lest I get yelled at by the Missus:

Yep, I'm happy.

[Giles]

I would be effing ecstatic…G

Dexter_, those are gorgeous. Cheers to New Aldens!

[PETEROCK1]

lando, that sucks! but just keep wearing them. i have to wait 5  more months for mines 

dexter… simply beautiful 

[Beatle]

Having waited almost 6 months myself I can assure u - it's totally worth it++hang in there

Lovely boots Dexter and Lando, i'd be really pissed too if a pair of expensive boots would arrive like that!
But you did the right thing, wear and enjoy! They'll receive marks and scuffs anyway, so now the first scuff won't hurt that much anymore…

here's some pics of my old (recently sold) Indy's with Cat's Paws

pics of my other pair of Aldens are on a different computer so i'll post them another time.

Just got these whiskey shell longwings.

[SimonQ.]

Eeeek, whiskey ><

Where did you find them?

[nixage]

Got'em at Epaulet in Brooklyn.  Great folks there!

[SimonQ.]

Yep, saw them there. Glad they are sold out of 10.5 :A

Enjoy wearing !

[Dexter_]

Thanks guys.

Peter, the Roy's will be worth it and hopefully LSBH will open soon so you can quench the Alden thirst!

Mich, that cat's paw looks hella nice! Perfect combo. Looking forward to seeing more of your Alden collection.

Whiskey whiskey whiskey…..... so nice! Missed the boat on some whiskey and cigar boots this past couple of years. Gotta catch up!

Not sure if anyone was looking for the Alden Indy Boot in Black like Simon(Malibu) and PETEROCK1, but if so Blackbird has a 7.5D, 8.5D, and 9D…

Alden is now officially the one brand besides Iron Heart that I am addicted to. I am eying a pair right now and will let you know as soon as I made a decision…

HAHAHAHAHAHA! They obviously go well together. Maybe a IH UK/ Alden Collab in the future…. Dreams do come true here, remember that folks!

Oh really?!?!?! Sweet!

^Match made in heaven!

I'm looking for a lightweight suede boot as an alternative to wearing sneakers. Considering the chukkas at the moment but if LeatherSoul's tan or snuff suede indy restocks, I wouldn't be able to resist. Sick….

[Beatle]

AldenXIH  PTBoot w/Crepe Sole /  Barrie last and Snuff suede and or KUDU leather
