Just brush it with suede brush to get debris off. Nothing else needs to be done

So True, it is damn near indestructible.

I blame you, all of SF, and @BAK for not telling me about this magic material sooner.

My go to winter boots, unless it's REAL cold are tobacco chamois on commando, can't damage them even if I try

This would be the last shoe I would wear before I needed to put on a winter (or rain) boot. Today was a great example in that I wore a boot due to all the melting snow and slush and from what I understand, I could have worn this shoe without any worries. But, what about salt which is so prevalent in the Northeast?

Salt is here in Midwest as well, here is a shot of the boots. I have done NOTHING to them since I got them, have worn in rain/snow/slush. They have been a lake chasing a dog....I have not even brushed them.

Just use a wet cloth to wipe them down

Hey folks,

While not rare colors, I just posted a pretty unique pair of color 8 loafers on the Alden B/S/T thread.

Put me in the camp that does not see that they are magical and just uses a spoon with Bick 4.

Plus "spooning" sounds a little more PG.

UPS stopped by today View attachment 1561200

Nice. I had a package arrive yesterday. Unfortunately the contents were not my order and they will be returned to sender so they can make their way to their rightful owner. Hopefully my order is on its way back as well so it can eventually make it my way. Mistakes happen and Alden vendors are great to deal with so no harm no foul in my eyes.

That is the right attitude! Some people would go ballistic and raise a fit. I agree with you.

WOW, that is quite the change, and green grass as well. A couple of months at the best before we have green grass here.

Nice. Looking forward to see how they keep progressing. I love the AOC-119, such a great shoe. Just got my pair recently and love them.
