ALDEN
- 
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.
 - 
Had a couple of replies from Euro retailers, but all negative.
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. - 
Yes of coarse
