I’ve always wanted a summer Indy boot. I tried suede but being a sucker for patina, I let them go despite the comfort. Cxl is my favorite leather for patina so next I tried the natty on wedge sole but didn’t quite like the ****** look. So, I decided to resole them and worked with Wyatt and Dad for a recraft. The result is phenomenal and just in time for office reopening so I can start wearing them regularly. I highly recommend Tony and team for all your cobbler needs.

I was curious as to what size those are? The wedge soles formerly on yours look super thick compared to other wedge soles I've seen.

Does anyone know the make up shoe rules for neocork soles? I seem to only see them with 270 degree storm welts and on either on boots or Indy shoes. I wouldn't mind having longwings or plain toe bluchers with those soles given their impressive durability. I've just never seen any.

They are the rare Size 8.5D ?. They were resoled on Vibram 2060 when I bought them pre-owned.

Funny. Mine are a half size smaller, but have the Goodyear wedge soles which Alden uses. Yours looked SUPER chunky before the resole.

Only 96 degrees here today. To be safe, I went with 20oz denim and Vintage Indys from LS

Early a.m. unlined BB #8 LHS before the swelt hit and it became too hot for denim.

I hope everyone's week is going well, as always.

The perfect loafer..

Just my two cents worth, but if both pair fit, keep them both

I would audog, if the 8's didn't give me almost instant shin splints. Weird.

Actually donned a suit today so the captoe bluchers got the call.

Thunderstorms missed us, perfect sitting on deck loafers for a nice summer evening.
