Just received a pair of 1493 unlined chukkas. The fit and finish are amazing and sliding my foot into them feels like putting on a pair of slippers.

My only other pair of Alden’s are 403 Indy boots in 10.5D. Decided to go with an 11E in the chukkas. I think I made the right call. I have most of a thumbs width between where my toes end and the welt is, can wiggle my toes, etc.

I bought them sight unseen from Shoemart. Anything I should look out for fit wise with these? I’m fairly unfamiliar with how these are expected to fit, in general. I don’t feel any glaring issues with them on my feet: no heel slip, toes aren’t being crunched forward or cramped, etc.

I did the same (10.5D in Barrie and trubalance) and 11E on the leydon. Worked out perfectly.

I like that make up. Who did it? I have the same style coming late this year in hunter green suede. They are from The Stronghold, should one be interested, and they are collecting an order that will go out at the end of May.

Thank you! They're a JCrew makeup

Just when I assumed I'd be done acquiring new Aldens for the near future after receiving two pairs this week alone, a third pair I couldn't in the right mind pass up is inbound. Going to be a really expensive shoe month

Expensive, but fun!

I’m not sure as I got these many years ago when it was not unusual to see cigar options available on their website.

Tanker week continues with squeaky #8 from Leffot.

My long delayed boots have finally arrived. Some may recall my unsatisfactory Ebay purchase of some brown CXL Indy boots, the Leffot make up. Brown CXL, commando, brass hooks and eyes with 270 welt. The seller just cancelled the sale even though I paid full asking price.

Fortunately Adam at AoC had a very similar version with a 360 welt that I ordered last September and they arrived today. I should have them within the week. The "Long National nightmare is over." Yes they "are just an Indy" but I wanted the brass and commando which was not available in the stock versions that were available to a EEE guy like me. This is my happy face.
