Those were a LeatherSoul makeup when they did a "best design contest". Fun fact: SF's very own member AlanC designed them.

The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is a makeup from TSM:

Hope they end up looking as good as yours do. Wish Moulded's came on a commando sole.
Also, stevent, buy those darn Day Trippers. The 11 is very tempting to me and I do not need them... It's quite the rara avis for your collection.

Edit: actually you have the version with the sexy counter, don't you! Even better!

Crazy busy at work today, just got my first break of the day. I have ravello plain toes and didn't feel the NEED to get the day trippers. I figure if I truely wanted them I would have bought when I first called when the shipment arrived. Nice boot but it's similar to what I already have

What ubiquiti said. I bought them off an SF deal right here, actually. My first Aldens, and I'm really encouraged to see that so many of the members think it's one of Alden's better works. They are really good for the winter weather NYC is facing right now. :)

I can't decide whether to grab a pair of Epaulet's #8 Brixtons, J Crew's #8 captoes, or a pair of #8 Grant last captoes.

I have the #4 wingtip boot from TSM (lucky me) and a pair of Epaulet's chromexcel Steinbeck wingtips, so I'm hesitating a little before getting another pair of wingtip boots.

I also like the dark edge trim on the J Crew and Grant last captoes.

But the Brixton is sweet.

Persuade me!

What did you go with? I've never seen a Modified Last shoe with a double sole, so I'm wondering....

The #8 Grant last cap toe boots are one of Alden's finest makeups. You will not be disappointed.

Just keep wearing the PT boots; the only difference, literally, is the cap toe.

PSA - Tres Bien WINTERDEAL code works on Aldens, pricing is about the same after VAT but might have some stock that isn't that popular in US stores
