These waxy Kudu's are sweet.

These are tremendous! I am considering unloading my Brown CXL Indy's to open up a spot for these bad boys.

Hey I am not willing to go that far!.....lol. I have an older pair of Cigar Indy's that are the nice lighter shade. I do have a pair of #8 shell Indy's that I may show the door soon though.

Tbh I do find the Truman boot to be as comfortable as the Indy and similar in fit when sized correctly

I went a size and a half up from the trubalance but I think that's unusual a full size would prolly be average . The Truman tends to fit a bit narrow at the point the tongue meets the vamp and I got a big boney knob there . That's not an issue on the Alden's

That is great info - I am going up up a full size from barrie/trubalance - thanks for confirming - feel much better about my boot on order.

I've mentioned this before but Vince told me he didn't want to put anyone in boots that don't fit

Yes, I am in a snow environment. Do the dainite soles not do so well? I'm just not sure if I like the clunkyness of the commando sole. Some pictures I like it, others it looks very clunky.

My experience is that dainite soles do not do as well as commando soles. The tread pattern is really more suited, ime, to rainy, rather than snowy, conditions, and it is actually quite shallow. That said, for city wear, you are probably going to be fine unless you hit a piece of black ice, in which case, only crampons are going to help you.

If you are concerned about the clunkiness of the commando sole you may want to reconsider a Truman boot . They are most def a workboot . Side by side with an Alden on the Barrie they are huge
