I bought these about 5 years ago and would estimate that I wore them about 15-20 times in the first half year of owning them. Then they just sat in a shoe box for the last 4.5 years as I occasionally thought about selling them.
I've tried (either bought, or tried and returned) all the different boots, redwing iron ranger, wolverine 1000 mile, alden indy 405, chippewa service, frye walter... and I can say that the alden's are the best made of the bunch. However, they were a bit heavier than the 1000 mile boots and I just ended up wearing those all the time. So if you are interested in saving $300

by getting a gently worn pair (the main wear is on the heel -- which indicates the way my feet land when I walk), then today is your lucky day.
$10 shipping to CONUS. I'll calculate it if you are outside of CONUS.
