Oh, just don't buy shoes. Problem solved

Haha, that would work, but... I like shoe too! I actually really like the seasonality that "requires" me to have a winter and summer rotation. My summer favorites are the flex sole dovers and loafers - there is no boot that can match those for summer comfort!-)

Question, every once in a while I look at Alden LHS in 8 and I think they look swell. Although I stop short of ever buying because they look a little bit too old man like. Does anyone know anywhere I can get some more fashion forward styling inspo with it?

I often see them in stores that carry Engineered Garments and Kapital etc so I figured some one must have something like em on in more wild fits.

Cigar PTBs today and a shot of some armagnac shell Carmina's I picked up from Mack at Brogue.

Good stuff, Gilby. I dig those Cigar PT boots.

My pants got a little carried away with the wind. Cigar tassel Tuesday.

Got all dressed up in Naked & Famous denim and natty Indys to walk the dog this morning

Sew the inside edge to boot so it doesn't rotate to the side?

+1 on this. It pained me to do it but is much better in the end

what do the end result actually look like? I'm having a hard time envisioning what they actually do

I have been WFH and haven't worn my boots in a while. I went outside to take the dog for a walk and wore my 403s. I almost forgot how good they are.

Cute dog with one of my favorite boots. Looks like the makings of a great walk!

Agreed. I wear boots in 90 degree weather

As I recall, Indy frequently wore his boots to jungles and to Egypt in search of the Ark. Sounds to me like boots can be worn year round.

Thanks! If the house was on fire and I could grab one pair of boots it would be the cigar PTBs, the perfect boot.

I feel like this won’t come off as a genuine suggestion, but seriously - Japanese Instagram posts with Alden hashtags. Lots of strong looks that fit that aesthetic (EG and the like)
