      I hear ya' loud and clear, and agree with you.  🙂

      Those long wings are beautiful.  Probably my favorite shoe in the Alden line-up.

        I don't know…a collaboration IH with and Red Wing, Wesco, Viberg, or Whites makes at least twice as much sense to me.

        they could these aldens as a template…..

              you guys still talking about an IronHeartXAlden ? Those last couple of pairs feel like they have nothing that relates to the whole extra heavy motorcycle layout…

                    I was merely showing a different color Chromexcel.

                    I don't think anything in Alden's line-up is 'motorcycle' though.  IMHO

                      First of all, everyone needs to calm down. We are not the designers. We are on a chat forum speculating and projecting. Everything can not be taken so literally…

                      I can see this, especially because Haraki-San himself wears Red Wings.

                      @PETEROCK1:

                      KEYWORD…. Template. Pete said nothing for certain. I like the silhouette of these just like I like the general silhouette of the RW 875's etc…

                      Beats, again we cannot take everything literally. There are plenty of modifications that can be made to ANY pair of boots to make them more "to the whole extra heavy motorcycle layout". For instance, different leathers, soles, laces, waterproofing/ heat protection, different soles, etc. Just because someone uses a picture to throw out an idea or look does not mean it has to be exact, its just an idea. Dare I say STEEL TOE?  😛 😎 😛 😎

                      Again, I thinks there are plenty of modifications that can be made to any model in their line-up to be "motorcycle." Hell, guys wear Nike Air Force 1's and all sorts of "Non-Motorcycle" made items that fit into a look.

                      Okay this may be an unpopular opinion but that has never stopped me before. So the Alden Indy is a phenomenal product and the style is classic like not many others. I mean I have personally tried them on many times in stores and put it in my shopping cart 100's online. That being said, let's think outside the box and come up with something different. Let's try to do something that they have never done before. I feel like there are enough Alden Indy versions out there at the moment and who wants to style ride other people??? Just my 2 pennies…

                            That's V cool Arrow.  How much did that cost you and where you get it done?

                              Hi Giles… I had it done in San Francisco (Al's Attire) for about $100.
                              Changing the sole from leather to rubber dramatically increases the comfort of these boots.
                              Plus, they look less dressy and pairs better with denim.

                                Great. I think an inspired decision.

                                  rubberised sole looks great on those. still classy, but a little more tough

                                        Hey, no problem. Did you see the Low-Top Roys? Now that I know you are a 7D I will remember that!

                                            Thanks to Jasonfoote303 for pointing it out to me… ShoeMart made this same shoe in snuff suede:

                                            N, they have size 11 and 13 last time I looked.
