Thank you for taking the time to take these pictures! That does look similar to me. Alden said it shouldn't affect wear and if there was ever a defect in the future they would take care of it. I think I'll keep them. Thanks to everyone for your input!
Mine are the commando soles in 403C. I'm hoping they will last longer. ?Your are welcome.
Additionally, the Thomas heel style (orthopedic origins) which Alden uses for its Indy boots has a soft rubber heel cap that wears quickly, especially the back edge. Here is a link to a post revealing aftermarket replacement rubber heel caps:
