That is the most expensive sock liner I have ever seen! They must have used 24K gold to imprint it! Since the shoe probably retails around $600, that sock liner is worth around $1K!

Haha my thoughts exactly; these belong to my friend who lives in Tokyo. We hadn't talked about Alden's and I realized that his beat up PTBs were of the distinct shell material. I asked him what they were and to my surprise... they were Aldens! I was horrified at the price, he has two pairs one in black one in Color 8, both setting him back about $1,000 USD a pair. Pretty wild. It is no surprise he declined my offer to find him more Alden's... if I was paying $1,000 a pair...

^^^ it's Japan though, taxes bring up prices on everything. Alden's at $1000 is pretty standard for any nice imported shoe

Yeah that's true, I forgot about that. I think Beams had very standard Aldens for around $800 a pop...

Just out of morbid curiosity, how many pairs of shoes do you own? Excepting tennis, sandals and the like. I have around 15. Not counting the 5 or so that I'm trying to sell or give away! Just trying to decide if I'm nuts or that there are other nuts out there.

Question: Does the Plain Toe Indy come in brown, or any other color other than natural? Everywhere I've searched I can only find it in natural.

In my experience looking around, the plain toe indy seems rare compared to the stitched toe version. Can't say I know of a place to get any plain toe at all.

Shameless plug - LHS for sale in my sig.

Does anyone know when people start taking custom orders for fall runs?

Probably too late now, if you want something that's already been ordered you may have a shot if they have your size available

What color? (Couldn't find it on LS's site.)

Shoulda bought mine

The 8.5 will fit snugger than the Indy's you got though in CXL - the captoe does that. Just FYI
