Yeah - that is an intriguing look. Almost commando sole, but just that shade off. Do you mind saying where you had the work done and approximate cost?

That's quite a name!

Boots look great though. Is it a really significant improvement in comfort?

Nice monks.

I have this model too - and I would list it as one of my most comfortable pairs of Aldens (even right out of the box).

is it possible to communicate with him in English and send in shoes from abroad?

I know a few people on here have purchased from Anatomica, and I will be heading out to Paris in about a month and look forward to checking out the shop. Can one of you please let me know the best way to contact them and who the best contact person over there is. I tried emailing them and received no response.
Thanks in advance.

Ask for Sean. I have only communicated with them via email.

Thank you. If you don't mind, can you PM me his email address there? Or do you just use the general [email protected]?

some pictures from my modified Indys with Gumlitesole and orthopedic heel.
the shock absortion is great. i love them

this picture (vibram sole with zero heel) looks like exactly what i'd like to get done to some of my aldens. i know you said it's a gumlite sole, do you know which exact model it was?

Got an email from NRO today that there is a 30% off coupon TEAMUSA. The email says Alden is excluded, but it seems to work when I tried it with the cordovan chukka just now.

I just gave it a test run on a pair of Aldens - it did not work. If it worked for you, go for it!!

Word on the street... ...#8 and cigar have been known to get lighter, while ravello and whiskey get darker

i agree with your assessment
