My first pair of Alden's.......

Oxblood Brixton Boots... Was really worried about getting the size right but I think I nailed it.


First inspection.







Gonna go put a few miles on em.

Hope this doesn't become an expensive habit...

Everything about these pictures is great. Where did you get the boots?

^Agreed. I have an SG Special that highlights my color 8s. Could use a little abelone inlay in my life.

may have something to do with the fact their common practice was to state an item was in stock, charge your CC right away, give you variable shipping dates that were never fulfilled and then deliver the shoes 2 months later.

Of course, I was unaware that shell chukkas and the #8 NST were limited editions that are difficult to obtain... Who knows. Hopefully people will get what they want and get the discount.

Ugh, everything tells me not to order from them, but I'm tempted to try to order a cigar LHS. The code JACKET puts them at $469, similar to the Shoe Mart "discount" from a few weeks ago.
