These are the "hawaiian tankers" Leather soul came out with a few seasons back. they are 12D on the barrie last and are in #8 shell cordovan they are in slightly used condition and fresh off an alden factory restoration. history: I purchased these in feb of this year from Leather Soul. They were worn sparingly through winter here in new england and in april I noticed the welt stitch on one of the boots had come loose. they were finally sent into alden for a repair in may and returned in july. since its been the hottest summer on record they haven't been worn since return from alden. I was going to keep them for the fall, but too many options and I need to thin the heard. Alden refinished the exterior, fixed the problem with the loose welt stitch, replaced the commando soles, replaced the interior heel footbed and set a stitch into the tongues to stop them from sliding during wear. (all the alden boots i've had have done this and the factory was happy to do the stitch at my request) since these have been worn they do have some creasing in the toe box as well as minor scratches and scuffs (which for the most part were covered by the refinishing process) i've done my best to illustrate the condition in the photos below if you need more pics, have questions, etc please let me know these are 12D on the barrie which runs 1/2 big they sold out quickly at leather soul and as of this time LS has said 12D will be a special order from here out orig retail was $625 , asking $400 $380 (final drop) p.s. will include receipt showing date of restoration as well as box and the bags if i can find them (please note the first few pics were taken with flash and make the boots appear much lighter as they are in person. second pic is the best representation of their actual color)
