Alden and Streetwear

And - they almost look better with age, you won't care if they get beat up, and they are easily replaced if necessary. Don't get me wrong though, they are quite durable and should last a while.

Can someone explain what's so great about Clark's? You look at them, they're Clark's, everyone wears them now, end of story.

Honestly, I have to agree with you.

If I go for a chukka, I like opening ceremony, alden, and paul smith.

If you're buying with your own money, I'll hook you up. You're touching a soft point in my heart being so young and interested in Aldens.

I recommend looking into Alden's orthopedic series.

I think you don't see pictures of it because a lot of people do wear that combo, thus it's relatively unremarkable. It's what I wear most days, except I wear aa/levis/pf flyers.
