It would be really cool if Indy wore these in the university setting and his TB lasted boots in the field.

It would.

These revealed the degree to which the Plaza last works for me. I always assumed it would b too narrow, but in my Brannock size (12D) it's fantastic.

Happy Tuesday forum pals. Even though it's cold and damp outside it is warm on the inside.

Tankers from AoM for me today. My TB tankers are more of a beat on em boot for me so these stay pretty nice. Time to get them out of the closet for a bit.

The more worn and beat up these plain toes get the more I like them 😊

Seeing now that Instagram allows short videos, I have to wonder if this is the future of the Styleforum. Will most people even bother with video? I don't know. Wore my other Modified boots today.

How about a little soft, no, hard shoe?

I'm not following what you're getting at.

It looked almost like a little dance, and soft shoe used to be a thing so…
Anyway, this.

The “old soft shoe” can be described as a slow and graceful forum of tap dancing. The tapping sound often matching the melody notes. Popular in the era of tap dancing.

I'm about to purchase my first pair of Alden's and I need help....

I've fallen in love with these boots but Im scared its just not meant to be due to my wide feet. In tennis shoes I wear a 13EEEE and in Allen Edmonds I wear a 13EEE. After calling Alden San Francisco and also emailing Alden directly, I have been told that the jumper only comes in EE. But, is it possible that an Alden EE would work for me?

There is an Alden dealer in my town but they keep very little in stock as they are more of a clothing store and they never stock anything in a EE or EEE. So it's not possible to try anything on locally. I went to NYC last year and visited the store there and they didn't have anything in stock in my size to try on.

I would literally buy anything on a barrie last in a 12.5EE or 13EE just to see if it would work, but I can't even find that anywhere out there.

Are there any Alden lovers with wide feet out there that have any experience with this Alden Jumper or any Alden shoes?

I was thinking I would just bite the bullet and order them in a 12.5 EE and a 13 EE and see if either works. The only problem there is that most of the dealers I've spoken to have said there is a no return policy on custom orders, except my local shop who says I can return customs but I have to pay a restocking fee.

Im at a loss and I don't know what to do here. Any advice is appreciated, thank you
