[FibroblastsMakeLeather]

A reprieve from the writing grind until later next week.

Of course it is an Alden Day. Brick and Mortar 6 eyelet Chukka's.

@BackInTheJox have fun at the conference! Wish I could see the hair follicle biology talks!

Very nice, like them a lot.

A few pages back, a member mentioned a pair of shoes with plantation crepe soles. I really like the look of Alden's All-Weather walkers, but have been shying away from them with the presumption that the crepe sole isn't durable. What are the pros and cons of such soles?

Plantation Crepe seems pretty durableHave them on a few pair of boots, and while I haven't put over a couple hundred miles on them, have not noticed any appreciable wear. They have been mostly on concrete sidewalks, I wouldn't let the sole deter you if you like the makeup of the shoe or boot. Just my two cents worth.

They are great, indeed. Mine came with cotton flat brown laces, and AoM stated that it was a hiccup on Aldens side.
Did you get them with cotton or waxed laces?

Blue suede NSTs from AoM have finally arrived.

I will swap the laces pronto this weekend.

Excellent gentlemen! I went with the AE 48” brown rounds on mine and they go really well with them.

Kudos to you, Matt, for a great make up.
I am really excited about this pair.

I'm a lawyer, but consider myself a regular dude first.

All doctors, lawyers, and corporate big shots are regular dudes. Whether they recognize that fact is another matter. In my experience, the good ones recognize that fact easily.
And yes, I am a doctor. And very much a regular dude. Ask my family, they remind me of the fact constantly!
