Alden Color #8 "Indy" Boot on the Plaza Last. Tis my first Alden boot (and implicitly my first Indy). I really like the lines on this boot on the Plaza last. It has the Commando sole, so this is my first time going Commando as well... -Mike

I guess people of most ages are sad to see a true comedian/actor suddenly leave us, that includes me.

We truly lost a legend in Robin Williams. May his soul rest in peace

Welcome to Tanker Tuesday Gents,

Maiden carpet voyage today.

I apologize for low quality iPhone pictures.

Leffot Tankers are my favorite Alden shell boots. These batch #8 is not too dark, just perfect. Love the narrowness effect as well.

Extremely sad as well. Very big loss.

You guys are killing me with these pics!!
Looking good man, I will be picking these up next time they run them if I can click the buttons fast enough.

Additionally I heard the news of Robin on the radio this morning, very saddened.

I've been wearing a pair of 10E unlined PTBs from Epaulet. I ordered a couple new pairs - Natural CXL PTB and Unionmade Alpine NST - but I opted for a 10.5D. The width in the heel is better and I think my foot falls more correctly in the shoe.

I was just brushing the 10E PTBs and decided to snap a pick of the inside to see my footfall pattern. Pic is below. They're comfortable but from the look of those pics my toes look murdered.

Based on this, guesses as to the best fit for me? I have wide toes but a narrow-ish heel. ~11 TTS on a Brannock.

TIA kind sirs.

Get to Moulded Shoe and consider the Modified last. Trubalance will work better for you as well.

Far and away my best fitting Alden. These may be the most comfortable pair of shoes in my entire collection

Is Leffot still the only place making a color #8 LWB on antique edge trim?

Would prefer non Barrie, but that's idle dreaming.

I don't think I've ever seen a LWB not on Barrie except for one pair on plaza MTOd quite a while ago as stated previously. If you want an Alden LWB, it's gonna be on the Barrie. Take a look at mdubs pics of his C width LWB. Really changes the shape if a narrow would work for your foot.

They are really nice, Ryden. Can you remind me of the details?

These must be unlined PTBs for Brooks Brothers, since mine look the exact same way.
