ALDEN

i don't know Indy, but i do know the Iron Heart Alden thread
& some pretty good sources, that stays mum when a lot of bull$hit is flying about different brands let his thoughts be heard.
that was enough for me
word…the complaints in that thread (and a few new ones from a few other peops!) changed my mind about getting a pair of Aldens. even if i was all over them back in the days...but i'd rather spend a few more bucks on some vibergs or yuketens from which i know that i won't have those quality issues in the end.

black indy with commando type sole?
very nice jaco
-
nope i don't. i think they aren't really made for that (despite advertising :-X) & have heard waaay too many stories from folks with quality control issues
pretty boot yes, rugged er. . . . ahm . . . .
Granted, I have only used mine for six months, but they have been my everyday beaters and have kept up wonderfully so far. Ill get back to you in a few years;)

So far so good with me as well, been
Hiking in mine several times. I did have a problem with my 1st pair and Alden fixed it immediately. Maybe their service is different when you buy directly from an Alden store. When I received my 2nd pair I asked the store manager if these were strictly made for looks instead of use. His reply was they are work boots beat the hell out of them. -
joints i like & would be happy to baby & walk around the block with:
& kind of pretty for me, but i would just to have a dressier pair:
i love images & this makes it easier for me to see them in one place

Think I'm getting a pair of longwings for spring just need to figure out color. I was really in love with the natural but not so sure now.
-
I want a pair of Rovella or Cigar Longwings

Went crazy today with Alden's…gotta tell someone. I have gone all boots and discovered how great Alden's are. BUT they are difficult to find the right last, the right leather in your size.
I had never looked on ShoeMart so today I went online and scored a Ravello cordovan wingtip boot with welting....what a score..the perfect color for this boot.
Then I went to mouldedshoe website and they had just put up a boot in brown chrome excel with a perforated cap in modified last. Called immediately and had them hold the 12...then in a cab to pick them up..The modified last is totally the bomb....my feet are in heaven.
Now...I feel better getting all this off my chest... -
which pair you grab?
