those aldens are beautiful. Hope to own some someday. I had a pair of the Stan Smith vintage as well with the green cap and they were great too, cleaned up very easily as well, had a classic Adidas phase when I lived with an English guy and he came over with all white Forest Hills '72.

I have a few pair of boots as well but I dodn't ever wear them, I still think boots are not for me, at least tucked, but I want some of the Present X Tricker's, might get a pair if they make them again.

For dress shoes I don't have too many pairs any more, so my go-tos are black Church's X Jil Sander wholecuts. Great last that I don't know how I can replace.

The two that get the most use are a pair of brown Chucks, and Justin Roper Boots.

Boat shoes in summer when it's super hot, NiCo combat boots when winter gets serious. mix things up in fall/spring.

Was my Katahdin boots (and may still be for the winter) but they are too dark with sno-seal for the color my khaki 501's turned into when I soaked them too long with too much oxyclean. Still good with darker pants though but I wore them with the 501s to work today as it was raining and I am unhappy with the look (love how nobody here questions jeans that are khaki colored but would not be happy with the exact same pants in indigo...)

Now I would have to go with my beeswax DBs for boots, and brown suede target boat shoes (that have actually been on boats thank you very much).

I don't usually wear one pair of shoes more than once a week, but if I had to choose my favorite pair, for the summer months it'd have to be my Zuriick Ake slip-ons. once the fall hits, my Alden Indy boots will probably dominate

Oh yeah, the Forest Hills are great. I have a complete addiction for all-white Adidas trainers. The Rod Laver vintage is a solid model too.
