Saw two pairs of Aldens in the wild today - 405s and Roy boots. Unfortunately wasn't wearing my Indies which would have been hilarious as the guy in 405s sat right next to me on the train. Still told him he had great boots.

Does anybody know if any retailers have a dressy(ish) boot in black shell currently? I need a new black boot and am having a really hard time finding anything.

Thanks!

Did he give you the "I knew I should have sat in the next car" look?

This one is the more dressier of the two...

Newest addition... J Crew Cap Toe boot in color 8.  Haven't decided if I will keep them.  Not sure boots are for me.  May go with a cap toe medallion blucher (2145)  instead if I can find it.

what size are yours?

 

[ReppTiePrepster]

10D, but I bought them just before the sale so I paid retail; even more reason to return. Still undecided...

If you are going to have one boot, that's the boot to have.

I think I agree. That's why I'm still undecided. Thanks...

My first pair of Alden shell. 4060 boot from TSM.

I just recently got engaged and my fiance got me these as an engagement/Christmas present. Undoubtedly better than a watch IMO. I am taking them through the Mac break in process.

Even at retail, they're one heck of great pair of boots.

I like those a lot.....actually have them in my cart on J Crew right now with the hopes that another valid discount will come around before Christmas. Are they Barrrie?

Well...if you were going to have TWO boots, this is the other boot you would have.
