Maybe the Shoe Mart.  Probably not in stock, but they will list those sizes on their website as sizes they can order.

 Initially, I thought they were really related! Now I find it to be hysterical, with all of the cyber genuflection. I guess the cat is some sort of Alden whisperer!   

Not trying to be disrespectful to anyone here, as we all have our tastes, but I do not find the Indy Boots to be attractive at all. For me, I simply can't get over the toe box, as they remind me more of Fred Sanford, even though Indiana Jones actually wore them.

Never been a big Indy Fan but the Epaulet Milkshake and that Whiskey Indy are catching my attention

Doesn't the stitching on the heel, and also the heel itself suggest Modified?

(I'm more asking than telling)

Modified last + thomas heel is going to be some srs arch support...

Some people - like my lady - think the mere fact a bunch of dudes sit around posting about their rabid obsession with a particular brand of shoes is weird. To each their own I guess!
That said, I enjoy the banter here, and have had some pleasant chats with a lot of folks, learned a lot of stuff, and engaged in several excellent business transactions via the forum. All good IMHO.

+1.  My wife just shakes her head...
