    It's working for me, but I noticed some posts weren't loading images earlier. Just a heads up to everyone that ebay is having another 15% OFF sale today.

    There's something contemplative and satisfying about lacing up 9 eyelet boots. It shouldn't be rushed. You've committed to those trousers for at least a few hours.

    Nice color. From my experience with OSB camp moccs in chromexcel, they were tight at first but fit great when broken in. I think you sized correctly.

    Excellent. Thanks for confirming. Here's a group photo of my modest boot collection (chukkas not included). Left to right: Alden for J.

    Thanks for the info AMD. I'm going to see if B Nelson can do anything similar to the flex welt, or maybe the newest style commando that alden offers. From what I've read they can't get the oiled leather soles, but that was from a thread that's many years old at this point.

    Something a little different today. Black suede PTB on goodyear commando. Couple of questions. These say "Bootmaker's Edition" inside. What exactly does that mean? I've seen it on a lot of Aldens but haven't found a real explanation. When it's time for a resole - keep commando or go with...

    I've worn these snuff suede chukkas for at least 3 days in a row. At first they just felt really... hard on the soles of my feet? The cork is finally conforming and they feel so much better now. I'm also waiting on Davis boots from B&M in July. Love seeing them every time they're posted here!

    Good to know, thank you. That's what I was thinking but wasn't quite sure.

    Over the weekend I had some woodwork to do and wore my trusty 405s. Noticed the next morning that one had come apart where the upper meets the sole (you can see the threads sticking out in the photo below). Bummer. They're not quite 2 years old, but I've worn them hard and often and they've been...

    https://www.alden-of-carmel.com/brick-and-mortar.htm I think most of the B+M offerings are mirrored on the alden of carmel site and it's a bit easier to navigate.

    I stuck with the same size in the Leydon for unlined chukkas. It seems most people size up 1/2, but I don't think that would have worked for me. My feet are narrow(er) and I think that's why I'm able to go with the same size on these three lasts. 10D Trubalance is too wide but fits comfortably...

    Snuff chukkas (10D Leydon) showed up today from Leffot pre-owned. This is my first Leydon shoe and they fit well in my same Barrie size (10D). They feel a bit looser in the heel than the lined barrie chukkas that I have, but I think that's partly because they have less structure. I like them a...
