403's actually look more like the "work boot" they really are meant to be, with some CXL loose grain and wrinkles. Would look out of place with nice wool trousers, but with denim or Chino's (Khaki's) they are nice pairing.I agree. I had a pair of 403s and they looked pretty rough after barely any wear. Not as bad as on some colors though.

I wish that last could work for me. Missing out on a lot of solid makeups because of fitting issues.
On the other hand, I'm really enjoying the uptick of 379x. That is currently my favourite.
Beautiful boots

From one of the finest films ever created. Lbvs!
I've found across brands that creasing on an apron/moc toe bugs me more than a cap toe or plain toe. I think its because they can break across the pattern that it bugs me more.I just never liked how they creased across the vamp. I don’t mind the loose grain on the quarters as much but across the vamp I’d rather have tighter creasing.
Same here, I’m waiting for a boot makeup that catches my eye on that last.On the other hand, I'm really enjoying the uptick of 379x. That is currently my favourite.
I’m also reaching for more tb and Barrie lasted boots lately.
Probably been dressing way more casual since the pandemic.
Plaza doesn’t pair well w sweats.
good grief, the ravello indys are dreamy.
Markets generally don't like lasts with blobby toebox years ago? (with an exception of Japan)379X is a close second but Trubalance feels like it was made for my foot. It’s interesting how there is still not a lot of pattern diversity on either last — I’d like to see some more experimentation there.

I also like how the Hampton looks on boots. I may pickup this Shoe Mart build: https://www.theshoemart.com/alden-shoes-mens-wing-tip-boot-d9838hc-brown-scotch-grain/
TB is a great last, so no thoughts other than I can see why a favorite.at first I just thought he was aloof, now I’m starting to think he’s an exceptionally gifted troll.
time to ignore him and move on gents. let’s get this thread back to what it should be.
hot take: my favorite aldens right now are all on Trubalance. Thoughts?
Understand, and CXL can crease rather "severely" on the vamp.I just never liked how they creased across the vamp. I don’t mind the loose grain on the quarters as much but across the vamp I’d rather have tighter creasing.
