I shamefully have never heard of Alden until recently.  Are they like driving around in a 55 Porsche Spyder with ur James Dean hair.

kind of a toss-up. i've never had a bad experience with them, but i know of folks that have had quality control issues with their products.  imho they are nice dress kind of footwear, but at the same time these:

seem to have held up very well.

honestly these SE x LS x Alden's are the most comfortable boots in my arsenal!

sorry for the lack of detail shots, self timers aren't good for shooting your own shoes!

HA!

Now that I find Context Roy boots appealing to me, and Bureau Kudu boot there are none to be found in my size… story of my life...

Just got my first pair of Alden's in the mail today.  After a 1 year 5 month (!!!) pre-order.  Pictures, impressions, and whatever else to come after I walk around the house in 'em a bit.

the pre-order time is a joke, really hope they are worth this amount of waiting…

I think Aldens are fantastic love my 405's and Longwings

J what pair did you grab?

LeatherSoul collab – Natural CXL Tanker Boots.

First impressions:  The smell fresh out of the box is tremendous.  The one thing I love about purchasing "high-end" boots is that they all smell delicious.  You weirdos know what I mean.

They are quite a bit "longer" than my Whites or Vibergs, but the fit was surprisingly snug.  The natural CXL looks great right away and I feel like they will be a pair of stunners with time.  They are also immensely lighter/thinner than my Whites/Vibergs but we all knew that.  I plan on wearing these in warmer weather and maybe to the rare classy event I may attend.  They definitely have a more dignified appearance than some of my other boots, but that's the point.  Need some variety.

The wait was quite ridiculous but it honestly didn't bother me.  Maybe I've learned patience in my years.  Who the hell knows but I'm happy to have them now.

Onto the pictures, my apologies for the one that is a bit blurry.

Very very nice Jestre

[SpaceGnome]

nice boots.  Not sure I would be able to stomach a 1.5 year wait time to be honest.  In fact, fuck that shit.  But still, those boots are really nice.
