Just put in my pre-order for a pair of Roys -- my first Aldens. Super stoked but wait time is going to kill me.

I bought the last pair they had at The Shoe Mart. Epaulet has one pair left in I think an 11.5D. You can pre-order for them at epaulet as well. The boots feel great on my feet but the LWB fill a little big. I just ordered the exact shoe in a half size down and when it gets here i'm going to try them both on side by side. I'll keep the ones that fit the best and send back the others. These are my first Aldens and there is nowhere close for me to try shoes on.

Excellent acquisitions. Did you get the cigar shell longwings from ShoeMart as well?

Do you have more brown or black shoes? Probably the brown are more versatile, but it's good to have a black pair, too. Although, I've run into guys who never wear black boots or shoes.

I've got mostly brown chromexcel and a #8 boot on the way as well. I like the context tankers but don't know if there will be a rerelease

Can you guys enlighten me as to what the actual color of Ravello is? These from LS :
http://www.leathersoulhawaii.com/201...shortwing-lsw/

look very different from the color of these:
http://www.epauletshop.com/servlet/t...Brixton/Detail

Is the color more the rich brown (former) or reddish (latter)?

Both. It varies a lot.
