    I know mink oil is not the best thing to use on leather boots upper. I mainly use a damp cloth to clean with after every long day wear. Although, I have put mink oil on my sole edge, and welt stitching and letting it soak. Then I wipe it off. The sole edge, and stiching just look amazing...

     I did not put the link in. But, this is what I was referring to. This is the 2ND pair directly from wolverine. I paid full MSRP to avoid factory seconds. And both of them same bad grain, same left boot. They will let me mail them back I've spoken to Shelby in the 1000 mile department. But...

    Pictures just do not do the Alden Michigan Innsbruck Epaulet justice. These are some comfortable boots. I've worn them about 4 times now. They are breaking in nicely! Picture beside my pair of Wolverine 1000 miles. This is my 2ND exchanged pair directly from wolverine. And they keep sending me...

     I wear my Alden boots this summer as we speak for work. Of course I rotate with another pair. But my Alden boots are nice and cool, and stay very dry 100% of the time. My pair of Wolverine 1000 miles will get a little hot with a little humidity inside them. I think it has alot to do with...

     Hey, are you referring to Raleigh, NC? This is where I live and, unfortunately I purchase all my Alden's online. Luckily the fitment has been spot on first try. What stores carry Alden's? I would love to buy my 2ND pair of Alden boots in person.

    Who here feels like polish is bad on your leather? I decided I was going to put a little brown cream polish on my Alden muchigan Epaulet boots. I put a light coat, let it dry and shined it up really bright. A little to shiny for me I decided I really didn't like it, I always forget that shoe...

    I wore my new Epaulet Innsbruck cxl Michigan boots, for there first 10 hours yesterday. Wiped them with damp cloth, let dry and brushed! They are so comfortable. Words cannot describe it. I'm letting them rest with shoe trees. I am very particular about clean socks, and clean feet. So ...

    Can you guys help me understand lined and unlined? Are my Alden Epaulet Innsbruck Michigan boots lined? I'm kind of concerned with sweating in them more then scuffing.. I'm going to wear them for work. I go on to construction sites to inspect, luckily they have a gen III commando sole. Should...

    I was concerned with not getting a perfect pair, I know that a 360 degree welt seam can sometimes be really messed up on Alden's. I was surprised that mine are both perfect. I have seen some sole stitching that went over the edge of the sole on Google photos lol. I don't care for defective...

    The clicking is so much better then Wolverine 1000 mile lol. No loose grain creasing! Quality is amazing. These are my first pair of Alden's I actually bought them on accident. I thought they were a Indy boot style. And I realized they were not after I paid online. Well, it turns out ! I...

    I just realized but, when I bought my Alden Epaulet boots on eBay. Turns out, I ended up buying them directly from the owner of Epaulet. Thanks Mike.K The eBay name was different. But, I thought I recognized the name when it showed up on PayPal.

    I've worn my Epaulet Alden Michigan Innsbruck boots a few times now. I love the 360 degree welting, and the 3rd generation commando sole! Turns out, they are really similar to the Alden Indy boot. Either way I have noticed too, they feel a little heavier then my Wolverine 1000 miles also. I run...

    I will tell you guys this, Epaulet Michigan Innsbruck boots look so much better in person! Very similar to a Indy, only the Michigan has a 360° degree welt. Commando sole is nice! I can see these lasting years before they need a re sole. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.
