Most of Alden's color 8 boots would fit the bill but specifically I'd probably look at tankers, cap toe boots (including the perforated cap toe) or maybe even an Indy (dresses up fairly well in shell). Note that Alden won't do brass or gold eyelets with color 8 so you'd have to have an experienced cobbler add those after the fact.

Thank you for your response. I also see there are many "custom" offerings from different retailers as well. I appreciate your advice.

Comparing to your current boots, I'd look for sizing similar in Trubalance or Barrie

Who has that makeup? That's a great combo...

Hello 11D friends. I'm offloading several NIB exotic pairs, in case you're interested. Just a heads up here before I put them up on B/S/T. I find myself mostly wearing boots and would like to find a good home for these pairs.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested. Thanks!

Blast, I'd be interested in 2/3 of those (I have a pair of C&J which are those Cigars exactly) if your feet weren't a size too small.

Anyone get the early access JCrew email today? Me neither, but saw they have at least a couple of new Alden makeups. I don’t think I’ve seen this rubber sole before? (If that’s what it is) But I like the makeup, would be awesome with brass!

Looks like a black neocork. Looks like a cool boot

 

[duff406]

On closer examination I think you are right. Not bad if the 30% off works.

They are up on the site right now and the 30% code seems to work on them. They will fix the glitch soon but might be able to get them for $415. Code works on the natural cxl wingtip boot.

See anything else new? Apparently a 35% off code went out with the early access email but I didn’t get it. Those wingtip boots look pretty good too.
