looking good in your cap toe boots

cigar cap toes
argyles otc

here's a nice little ditty from the shoe mart....http://www.theshoemart.com/alden-mens_9_eyelet_boot_dark_tan/pvc-ald-mxs-39701_ald_m_9_eyelet_boot.html

for this is almost identical to the epaulet MTO make up we did in ravello, with the exception of a commando sole and medallion toe.

Is this dude wearing Aldens?

 

Roden Gray has 20% off coupon code. Check Official affiliate thread. Seems to work on Alden's including some blue suede ptbs and chukkas.

Hard to tell from that picture, but if I had to guess, I'd say no.

 

Could be the AWW 947, but it's hard to tell:

dear alden friends:

i have an old pair of barrie last rubber sole chukkas that need to be recrafted.

1. where can i get a recrafting kit from/how do i get them to alden?
2. how long is the turn around?
3. can i get them resoled in something else, like crepe?
4. can the last them down a width? ie: 11.5 D to 11.5 A?

Dammit, they don't have the blue suede chukka in my size

They look more like Church's old and discontinued Stratton or its replacement called Shannon in sandalwood polished binder leather.

 

Herring Shoes have the current Shannon on the 103 last but they are very pricey for a high shine leather shoe.

And here is an eg of an earlier Shannon on the 224 last on ebay:

I think the discontinued Stratton was also made on the 224 last and was also available in shell.

 

Church's have recently reintroduced Stratton in full grain leather and suede but on the 173 last which is their classic last for business shoes, Consul, Diplomat and such like.
