ALDEN
-
According to Alden's store locator there are a few places in the Netherlands and Germany that stock their products.
The Dutch shops are probably a good starting point. The staff in Sir Max speak English, so I'd drop them an email, and see if they can help.
-
Thanks, Graeme.
I've dropped them a mail, fingers crossed.

Had a couple of replies from Euro retailers, but all negative.
The search goes on… -
Just dropped my Indys off to get resoled with a Vibram lug sole. Excited to see how they look. Couldn't wear them if it was icy or wet out without slipping around.

The search goes on…Have you tried Moulded Shoe in NYC? I bought my Indys instore, but I believe they offer International shipping.
-
Fresh from getting a nice polish. Wore them picking pumpkins and the vines had done a number on them. They look almost new now!
-
Alden Indy new sole, midsole, and welt.
-
Nice.
-
Urb, you had that work done locally?
-
Looks like a nice job to me. At least now you don't have to worry about breaking your neck with the normal sole. They are flat out dangerous in the winter.
-
I will eventually send mine out to Alden and replace with commando soles.
-
Yeah there's no way I can wear the old sole in NYC during winter or any rain.
I had them done at B Nelson's in NYC. It cost about the same as sending to Alden I think but I was expecting it to be cheaper, that's why I went there. They did a good job. They can do the actual commando sole exactly like Alden does but I got the lug sole instead, seemed more aggressive. I really like the white welt stitching.

405 are some great boots, not as beefy as White's but I find them to be the most comfortable.
-
classic aldens with classic IH
-
Use Alden wax on cordovan

Just brush each shoe real hard for about 5 minutes then polish with a cloth before you put anything on them.
Rénovator SAPHIR MEDAILLE D'OR is great and a TINY pit of Kiwi if you need to.
