4060 today

That's another example of a Frans twist on the classic Alden 4060 pattern. Looks terrific to me! Definitely adds some character to them boots!

Not sure if this impacts you, but Alden DC had several D and E widths available for a little over $100 off on Natty and Navy CXL lwbs.

Thanks for the psa dubs. I have made a bunch of purchases recently so I am on a little break. Great pickup though!

Fantastic! Welcome to the forum! I can't quite tell, what model are they? Color #8 PCTs?

Thank You! I'm not sure what model they are. I do know that they are Cigar not color #8.

Nice! I think those are the Color 8 Naval Boots, and they look great!

I think they are the Cigar version of these.

I noticed Context has restocked their Roy Boot. Here's mine, which I purchased several years ago, fresh from a family hike this morning:

Ha Thanks! The capital is still here so it is all good! Only a few more days till I get to go home! Thanks Reppie!

Are you still down there on Tuesday? I was thinking about coming down and picking up those black grant Indys that Kathy has set back for me.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here's the ShoeMart list of 10D seconds I received yesterday.

Would anyone have a 10.5D list?

Walked into Alden DC carrying my Color 8 Perf Tip Balmorals and wearing Color 8 LHSes. Walked out wearing Natty CXL LWBs. This is the first time I have bought and wore the shoes out of the store.

The Perf Tips need a new heel and the LHSes are getting a new finishing only.

-Mike

Those LWBs are fantastic. I used to dislike natty CXL but now I am pretty sure it will be my next scoop. I wish I had gotten Unionmade's NST boot.

Will Alden replace just a heel or do you have to recraft the whole shoe?

Great casual shoe Mike. Debating a pair of these still myself.

Agreed.  Natty cxl is such an amazing leather.  I think the natty ptb is one of aldens best casual offerings.  On my want list for sure.

One of my favorite LWBs Mike, congrats!  I'm a little surprised as I was under the impression that Alden DC's Natty chrmxl Lwbs came with a natural welt.  I got mine from TSM to avoid the natural welt.  Enjoy those chrmxl beaters; they can handle it with grace!

I recently picked up a natty CXL LWB too, from Winn Perry: same antique edge but with commando sole and metal eyelets (painted brown). Absolutely love how natural chromexcel looks as a longwing: details of the shoe really pop.

I can see the temptation there. Wish my natural shell LWB would hurry up to remove the desire for the cxl.

Any idea what sizes were left?

I will still be here Ben. I can probably get there around 5ish if you wanted to meet there. I am running out of shoes to leave there though! I also left my Whiskey PTBs there yesterday as they need some work.

PSA: in addition to the Roy Boot, Context has their Color 8 Tanker/NST boot with dark edging and commando sole in stock - looks like 10D only: http://www.contextclothing.com/brands/alden-shoes/alden-context-number-8-shell-cordovan-tanker-boot
