Beautiful! calf?

Thank you, yes calf. I hope to put a shine on them this weekend.

Does anyone have these?  I'm trying to figure out what kind of sole they have.  The picture is of a double-leather sole, but the pair I have looks like a double-waterlock sole.  I'm not sure how to confirm.  J.Crew doesn't know.

the pair I handled in the Ludlow shop in NYC was on double-waterlock.

They are really nice in person.

edit: wait a tick, you own these and are asking us what kind of soles they're on??

You have the shoes and don't know what kind of sole it is?
That's pretty clearly a double leather sole but the description says single oiled sole.
Funny, I got the snuff suede/single waterlock sole combo from Epaulet a while ago although on Leydon.

J Crew is getting worse with regards to their descriptions and pictures not matching.
I ordered these a couple days ago.

They've been pulled from jcrew.com hence the link to the cached page.

I ordered based on the pictures and didn't really read the description that closely other than seeing Trubalance so I knew what size to order.
However reading the description closer and seeing the below makes me wonder wtf I'm going to receive. I emailed customer service and they said the pictures and description are correct.

stopped in Jcrew today and the hummus suede indy boot was out. kind of an odd make up with the dark suede and brick sole but i like it...

Odd, I e-mailed customer service & they said the pictures online were correct, but the description wasn't.

What was the code? Just adding to cart and checking out doesn't do it for me.

Got an email from their personal shopper. Supposedly, the pictures are incorrect and they are re-shooting the humus indy photos. I asked if the nst was going to be available as well and he said not that he was aware of.

I'm hoping the pics were correct.
Oh well. I guess I'll find out in a few days.

Thanks for reaching out regarding the Limited-edition Alden

for J.Crew Indy Boots in Suede. The picture that was shown for these boots is the correct picture. The description of this item is also correct. I would describe the color of these shoes as a camel color. The sole of this shoe is as it is started in the description. The sole is rubber.

I'm glad I didn't order then.
