Yep - it's a deal breaker.

I for one am happy to have choices. There are plenty of places to get #8 LWBs on leather soles.

^ Alden should rename it the "crap" sole in honor of all the **** that gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe at the end of each day. It's like stepping on gum with your entire foot, then walking around the block...

I have no objection to choices. Choices are good.

Agreed. It's not like JCrew is monopolizing Alden's color 8 cordovan.

Perhaps I'd understand if they were buying up all of Alden's whiskey, ravello, and color 4 and putting them all on crepe soles.

Is that the J.Crew plain-toe boot?

crepe soles are the bane of my existence. i must have found at least 4 makeups i really wanted in the last 5 months... but crepe soles.
