Wait are those these? http://www.theshoemart.com/alden-men...t_whiskey.html The picture on shoemart doesn't do them justice at all if so

Can you post fit pics? I have a pair coming in June on the second pre-order Tom did for these and I can't wait.

Anbody check out the "Pit Boot" preview on LS? Looks sick from what you can see.

Overprotective. I think that would kind of defeat the look of the flex welt sole.
Those are awesome btw.

I thought the point of the oiled out sole was to ward off the elements.

Are those Cigar or #8? Hard to tell sometimes - #8 looks different in every pic.

Either way- beautiful boots.

Lets see some pics of them in action!
