With a suit? Neither. You want a balmoral shoe, not a blucher (look at the way the laces come together at the bottom on this one as opposed to the others. I like these:

But you shouldn't be wearing any shoes every day. Every other day, at the most.

I asked this in the quick questions thread and I received no response:

Any thoughts on Leather Souls Alden Vintage Indy? Fit pics?

I am curious about it, especially compared to Leather Souls Alden Ultimate Indy.

I really like it.

I'll probably grab some. I would love it in a darker suede. It's probably the one indy boot I love the most.

I have a pair. they are awesome as ****, same finishing as the ultimate indy, but the leather is almost like a clarks beeswax desert boot

PinkPantser, Good lookin' out.

 

[Razele]

Has anyone thought about seeing if we could do another leathersoul Alden for styleforum boot?

I would love the vintage Indy in a grey / charcoal / dark brown oiled nubuck.

Could be cool.
