they should accept return/exchange without the fees, as these boots are not supposed to be listed as second.Already on their way back. FYI, they were Alden Factory Seconds FD-D5916HC - Color 8 Shell Cordovan (Size: 9.5, Width: D : Medium), for members who may see them popup on The ShoeMart in the near future and want to save a $7.99 restocking fee.
I’ve had my eyes on those. I really dig chukkas. But doesn’t Dr. Jones refer to the color 8 plaza Indy?

Got a fit question.
Was at Sherman Bros today to pick up my 405’s. They had to order since they don’t stock less than 8D and I’m a 7.5D. Tried them on in store and I commented that they felt a little too snug. The salesman took them in the back and he said he was going to stretch them a hair. He said he was going to put a last on there. They weren’t in the back for long. Tried them on and they did feel less ‘too snug’. What I noticed on the ‘little too snug’ was the lacings were a little more far apart and now as you can see in the picture they are a little closer. Looking back I’m not sure if I should have just taken the ‘little too snug’ knowing they would stretch some. Salesman was positive an 8D would be too big but did say to take them home and try them on later in the day and see how they feel. If they still feel too small then they would order an 8D. I’m 100% that an 8D will be too big in the balls of feet and too long. Problem is I’m not sure I should have stuck with the non stretched out 7.5D’s.
They feel comfortable though with a very slight heel slip but concerned about the lacings being close and if they’ll get closer as they break in. The salesman said they should feel too snug but comfortable out of the box.
Any insight thanks!
My apologies. Bad form by the rookie here. This is being updatedYes, “Dr. Jones” is the affectionate term for the color 8 plaza Indy specifically. It’s not just a synonym for “Indy” boot.
This is my first chukka in a bit. I think these will be super versatile for my environmentI’ve had my eyes on those. I really dig chukkas. But doesn’t Dr. Jones refer to the color 8 plaza Indy?
The six eye is just a brilliant idea. I bet they’re super comfortable.This is my first chukka in a bit. I think these will be super versatile for my environment

I love the look of the 6 eye. Main reason I was eyeing these. Yenni has a 6 eye cream sole tobacco reverse one but not in 8.5 and it made me sad but my wallet happy.The six eye is just a brilliant idea. I bet they’re super comfortable.
These are gold.. love em..My first pair of Alden’s from AoM ... still awesome after 5 years of rotation.
