killer

After lusting after them for years, I finally pulled the trigger on the Alden Indy boots. I went with the 403 (brown Chromexcel) from The Shoe Mart. I went back and forth on these vs. the 405s, but ultimately went with the darker colored 403. I measure a 10.5D on the Brannock device, so went with size 10D in accordance with the prevailing sizing advice.

Looking forward to receiving them. These will be my first pair of Aldens.

Happy Indy wearing! The Indy boot (and the Trubalance last) are my favorite Aldens, especially since they fit my feet more comfortably than any shoe/boot I've ever worn.

Can't go wrong with the 403.

20 days I've had my cigar CT's and I can't bring myself to wear them out of the house other than the front porch. Maybe tomorrow.

Those look great! My NST boots are my most worn shell boots, are 6 or 7 years old now and still look great like yours. I think there's something about the shape of the NST style that seems to make them last longer than other make-ups. Maybe the thick, heavy stitching keeps them from rolling/creasing too severely?

Ha, I feel you. I still

I still haven't worn my Whiskey PTB, from the recent Alden DC run, outside. Only around the house for short periods of time. The fit is perfect but I just can't cross the threshold:/

Just thought I'd show off the other pair of boots I sent to Aram for brass eyelet/speed hooks conversion. He has done 3 conversations for me and I truly impressed with his service. Non Alden content below. Still in my jammies lol.

Guys! Wear the crap out of your whiskey PTBs, that's how they get to look so good
