[larryr]

Just wanted to post this one more time, just incase...

Was looking for the "ALDEN X LEFFOT GREENWICH BOOT", unfortunately I didn't get in on the pre-order. If someone bought a 10E that would be willing to sell them please let me know.

Regards.

shoe trees in 99%. couple new pairs on the floor are missing them, but they haven't been worn yet so no biggie

Many on this thread, myself included, will tell you that you would be crazy not to buy something in Color 8, specifically the LWB (Model 975) or PTB (Model 990, or else the Brooks Bros version), given your needs and existing wardrobe.  I certainly like all the suggestions you have gotten thus far, but I'm not alone when I say that Color 8 is King.

If your only other pair is CXL then #8 would be a good move.
Very versatile, also easily available.
Maybe a version of a cap toe boot, or a PTB?
IMHO whisky is not great for casual wear, nor as your second (or third or fourth) pair of Aldens.

Whiskey is an advanced color - it is often hard to wear. However, it works best with casual outfits. Whiskey + raw denim is a great combo. I had the whiskey wingtips but sold them as they were too formal with how I wanted to wear whiskey. I anticipate wearing my PTB quite a bit in spring and summer. With whiskey, I would rank the models like this - LHS, longwing, PTB, chukka

For me Whiskey is inherently casual. My one pair of whiskey is a wingtip bal which I suppose makes it more dressy. However, I have never worn these with a suit with the exception of seersucker.

Taking all the considerations I was thinking:

Those boots are on the Barrie last. The Barrie is not as wide as the Trubalance. JCrew only stocks D widths on those boots, so they may be too narrow for you if you need an EE width on the Trubalance.

Brown CXL dovers and raw denim today. Rainy day here in the NE.

Hmm, maybe I'll give them a try if anything I can always return it to jcrew.

 

[budapest12]

^ Good luck but I am virtually certain those will not work for you with an EE trubalance fit. Maybe size up 1/2 and hope it isn't too long.
