Yes, the suede chukkas are on the Leydon last.
They actually work very well with denim.  I wear it all the time with my 634s and Dry Bones x SE 2009.

Thanks for the info Arrow.

@nameness:

also don't like the laces paired with it but i see why they did…  easy to change, though.

Agreed.. After I broke my waxed laces, I got some thin leather laces.  I wasn't too sure at first, but now I'll never go back.  They should look pretty good with natural, especially as the shoes age.

Quick and dirty pic of one…

nice evo…

Digging those laces

[derivative666]

I just got leather laces for my 405's as well. After having them 2 days one of my stock laces broke.  Alden NY sent me replacements stock laces and a set of leather laces.

Thanks Beats and Jimmy.. I wasn't too keen on them since they wouldn't stay tied, but then I watched the "life changing" video Giles posted awhile back about how to properly tie a pair of shoes.  I haven't had to stoop down and retie them since

I know it is really pitiful, but that video really did change my life…...Why was I not taught how to do that at age 5?

[Shanks59]

Link to the video please?

I probably showed 25 people how to do it.  A couple had already seen it, but most stood in awe

from today on i`ll do the same with my laces…even when it comes to my soccer-shoes cuz these bitches tend to untie on their on...

Is that just a specific make up of their plain toe boot?  I would love a pair like that.  Love the laces, btw.

I think they have a pair in size 7 1/2 left…
Laces are by shoestripes from Japan.

Thanks for the info, they look great.
