Show us your boots

[Beatle]

I vote Alden…but seriously - you will get a lot of Wolverine and Red Wing votes as well.. all 3 really great boots

Wolverine = perfect all rounder , I personally don't dig the heels
Red Wings = perfect work boot, fair price
Alden = perfect classic boot, Harrison Ford knew how to use them

+1 Alden Indy

All great boots but the Alden is on another level.

good call on Beats part - but it's a little bit of comparing apples and oranges

The 1000 milers have been recently revamped and are using Horween leathers, they're not really roughneck boots but will last and are kinda dressy in a bygone days way

RW are more like workboots (although the style you chose isn't unlike the wolverines) - leather quality isn't as fine as the other two but usually is pretty good at taking punishment

Aldens are probably the class act- but you'll pay a bit more.  I find them less work-like and more dressy but as Beats said they're good enough for deserts, jungles and all sorts of terrain with Dr Jones!

Nothing to be confused about - pick the one you like!

Thx all for the responses and suggestions.

I think i'm gonna pick the red wing. I want to save some money for aero jacket…

the wolverine's i've been seeing lately have been sort of lower in quality than in the past.

you cant go wrong with red wing's.  good all around boot that will last.

the aldens get my vote though.  i love mine.

check out white's boots  semi dress models also.

Nice, what are they?

[Chris]

Knowing Ed, they're Wagyu calf hide custom made by a 100 year old master Japanese bootmaker who came out of retirement just to make a pair for him.

I've been lurking around forums enough to make me laugh out loud when I read this.

to those that own a pair of white's boots (particularly the semi dress):

i'm looking at a pair online but i am unsure of sizing.  I am a 9d in an Alden Indy, and a 9 in RW.  I'm wondering if White's run big?  I found a pair of 8.5's online that i really want.

Cap toe boot recommendations?  I'm looking at C&J Coniston and similar.  Thanks.
