nevermind. i used a toothpick to raise it a little and then used tweezers to lift them out. they came out fully but the sides were a bright worn in cordovan color so i used another toothpick and applied colored wax into the holes and now they look perfectly fine!!
what the heck! whats the best way to get these hole punched leather pieces out?
the other boot had all the perforated holes empty but this one had 2 holes that werent. is this a rare occurrence?

My Ravello LWB from the last DC run have one perforated hole like that. I haven't removed the center, but may try now that it appears to be easy.

Also on that same lwb, there is 2 smaller holes missing in the 2 x 1 pattern. No big deal. Its on the left rear portion so i never see it unless i look for it.

Not really anything for Aldens.
Sure we have Sherman Bros. They are really nice guys that definitely like to discuss Aldens, especially if you go in wearing rare shellbut they offer nothing special and the downtown location is rarely stocked that well from my experience.
Only other store I know of is Tobox because they stock Saphir products.
thank you gentlemen. seems I'll be able to save some money this weekend then, or let the GF spend it

Whiskey WTB from AoM
This flaw is the only noticeable one, but it is damn annoying.. on the side of one of the boots. A black line running across part of the boot.

Hot freakin FIRE!
Great shoes sir.
Ravello lhs. (For me, tan suede ptb dovers)
Naval under a minute. That's w the San Diego chapter sitting this one out. I also feel the nst will be there a bit longer.
I'm asking myself the same question. As of 2pm today, I will pass on naval boots because I'm expecting the alt wein boots from Epaulet.
Bummer and completely unacceptable... I know someone who will ship them back for you if they're a size 10.
