Will any Aldens go on sale at Unionmade during their after holiday sale?

I doubt it.

Hi guys this is a offtopic questione. Recently I bought my shoes from leffot, they have already shipped out.. But the status of my shoes is still the same for the past 3 days... Processed Through Sort Facility, December 13, 2011, 7:06 pm, ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)

Isit normal? Cause if I remember correctly last time USPS tracking will kinda of update the status ..

Christmas, ever heard of it?

I'm sure it's fine. The USPS is always crushed this time of year with a ton of volume, and I think they have been cutting back on employees, so that may impact your wait time. Don't sweat it.

Very nice uncle. The NST with the six eyelets and the close heel & flat welt really dress up the chukka.

Yeah I had a package that had no info for about a 5 days, then it showed up on my doorstep and the tracking showed. Info received, processed, nothing nothing, delivered. Had another package like that, although I believe the seller just printed the shipping label instead of actually mailing it.

Some pics of the Alden Indy 40513HC, this is the oiled chamois (not reverse chamois) with commando that theshoemart had. Killer boot, unfortunately the 10E is a little too big for me.
Probably list these for sale in the SF classifieds soon.

Too bad they didn't work out. That's a nice makeup.

Just an FYI, but I may have the Leather Soul Cigar Alden Plazas for sale (brand new). Size 9.5D. PM if interested. At cost of course, or they'll go back.

Hi, I love the cigar shell alden captoe boots they are beautiful. I have a question that I hope someone here could answer for me. I just purchased a pair of the Cigar Shell captoe boots on the Grant last with a commando sole from Alden of D.C and I was wondering what size others bought compared to your trubalance Indy size? I wear a 8.5 in the trubalance jcrew Indy boot which fit great with Wool socks. My big toe reaches the end of the white stitching. I bought my cigar shell boots in a size 9. I am unsrue of my right foot fit because my right heel digs into the inside of the boot. I am not sure if it is something with the newness of shell cordovan which is tougher then say chromexcel leather and maybe over time with wear the break in process will loosen this up or maybe it is just my foot? I was wondering if anyone else had any similar issues with Shell cordovan and if someone could maybe offer some insight because this is my first Shell boot.

Indy size-8.5
Wolverine 1000k mile boot size- 8.5 with length room at the front
Alden Grant last 9?

that's how my 11.5 indy fits and I wear a 12 in grant. sounds about right.
