Just got an email and thought I'd give you guys the heads-up: Herring Shoes offers free worldwide delivery on all orders over 150 pounds until the end of April. They have some great stuff on their website.

Can't help but agree as these boot offerings are all slightly off to me. I like the concept of that chamois NST boot but the single flex soles just look weird to me. The make calls for commando, double leather, or (yeah, I'll go there) even crepe.

I picked up the NST boots, I had been waiting for the style for a bit now as I heard it was comming a few weeks back. I can live with the sole, I would of prefered commando but the part that was almost the deal breaker with me is the speed hooks. I hate these stupid things, I feel like I am always tying my shoes. There due in on Wednesday. I'll put up some pics.

I keep holding faith that I'll luck my way into the LS Chocolate Tankers, so I always hold on that color suede.

I'm on the fence as I know the second I sell them I'll want another pair

Haha, I'm the same, but I know I wouldn't be able to get another pair of jumpers in cigar. But on the other hand, I've probably only worn them 3-4 times and the last time I beleive was over a year ago.

You wouldn't ship for free then.

Looking forward to your pics. Despite what I said, I really like them -- I just don't love them. Commando soles and I'd probably pull trigger.

So...,,,,,after waiting for about 2 years and paying in full when I got confirmation in November, I was informed this morning that my whiskey LWB order "never made it into the system" and I'm out of luck . Bummer

That's more than a bummer, especially if they took full payment already...

Sounds like you should be given the option of a full refund ASAP. Or perhaps your order should be filled quickly at a discount with some freebies. Can't Alden/store requisition something from elsewhere in the world? I am sure many will be curious to hear which store did this.

I have always thought paying up front with that kind of lead time is ridiculous by itself.

If its the Whiskey LWB, pretty much guaranteed to be NY...

Apparently, when I gave them my CC number they didn't run it through or something. ..............They were very nice about it explaining there's no more whiskey, and they would offer me a discount in the future. Maybe I wasn't supposed to have those shoes anyway..........

A few flaws and maybe a little pricey, but a compelling shoe in a makeup I've never seen.....
