^^^^Looks fine to me. You've got a nice stack going, but you have to like how it looks.

Haha speak for yourself! I've got long legs

I had to find some super long jeans to achieve the same effect; great stack though

Maybe i can try with Japanese denim actually Japanese denim's inseam is 36-38 inch but if you looking for washed jeans i prefer Dior home but i think Most people in this topic(Alden) they are not interested in washed jeans lol

This is first time in Alden shoes, so i'm not familiar with it . However Alden's boot is so comfortable
 
but in my opinion Alden isn't suitable with Skinny leg lol next time i'm gonna try with RRL or straight jeans

Looks good to me . I always wair mine with skinny jeans/chinos. fuller legs hide the shoe, and "age" the look too much.

Alright, this is just driving me nuts.  I've looked everywhere for any information about this model number...trying to determine whether they're shell or not.  Anyone know?  #22220 (above that, it says 6R28XO22 5).  That in the pics that looks like microcreasing is most likely dust from them sitting around 

.  I actually don't think there's any microcreasing; they don't look like they've been worn enough to crease/roll.  Any help appreciated. 

According to Alden of NY, those are a pair of cigar NST on the Aberdeen last (scroll down to the last shoe on this page to see it):

Ah, I bought my suede chukkas TTS.  They were tight at first, but they fit very well now.  The unlined suede has plenty of give.  If you went down a half size, that might be too much.  Did you go down exactly 1/2 size like 12.5D to 12D? 

I'm a "true" - I use that word lightly - 12.5B on the Brannock (I can wear a 12B on Barrie/Trubalance). I ordered these in a 12C, which is one width up from my Barrie size. I thought maybe the extra width would give me enough room for a good fit, but the Leydon is a relatively narrow last so it's still too tight. I can try a 12D, but that might end up being too wide without giving me the length I really need.

Ideally I would like to try a 12.5C, but I don't think I can get that in an exchange from NRO. A 13 would almost definitely be too long, so looks like I might be screwed because I can't get a refund from NRO, only an exchange. If I can at least get a 12D from them to try on but they still don't fit, they will certainly end up on B&S here!
