At least I can pretend it's fall with snuff chukkas and pheasant socks:

Just a stock model, but probably one of the most versatile, comfortable pairs I've got.

The stock models are stock for a reason. They are all classics! These are no exception! Looking great sir!!!

^Thanks!

By the way, does anyone here have the B+M brown grain plaza NSTs? I'm tempted but would like to see what they look like in the wild. I'm thinking they'd look pretty great with some gray flannels come fall.

I believe it is the "Sasso Boot". I found an earlier post.

Hello there,

I hope someone may be able to help me please. This is my first post on this forum. I am looking to purchase a pair of Alden Indy boots as a surprise gift for my husband. I know that ideally he would try them on in store, but mainly due to lockdown and also not wanting to ruin the surprise, I am looking to take the gamble and order some online. I am in the UK.

In all shoes, boots and running shoes, he takes a size UK9. This is for his work/dress shoes, casual wear (Clarks Original Desert Boots, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars) and all running shoes Brookes, Saucony, Asics etc.

However, I just looked at his Red Wing Iron Rangers which say they're a UK8 (US 9D).

Wondering if anyone here has a pair of Alden Indy boots, and maybe some similar styles I mentioned above, and can advise on which size Indys I should plump for? Particularly if you also have the iron rangers.

Thank you in anticipation

I would guess the same size as Iron Ranger. As said before, running shoe comparison can be a bit tough. For example, I am size 10 in my athletic shoes from various brands, however I am a 9.5D in my dress shoes or other high end shoes. I am a 9D in the Indy boot as expected. If your husband is a 9 in most shoes and 8 in Iron Ranger, I would guess 8 for Indy will be the best shot.

Today was mostly a bust. 4 inches of rain finally fell a few trees and power is out for 8 hours. Streams overflowed and closed many local roads. Finally ventured out after the storm passed and found a place to eat. Power should return soon. It reconfirmed my decision to get a backup generator that arrives in 2 weeks, to end a three month process.

Kickin around in these today, but I feel like I’d give them more wear If the moc-stitching thread was dark hunter green or brown. Anybody know a reliable way to dye the threads without ruining the suede?
