are there any Alden tan roughout leather boots available?

M4TM · Jan 25, 2010

Seen these?? Beautiful :

from Tassels HK

- TASSELS MTO Grade by Alden - They are the BEST executed MTO by Alden for TASSELS so far, par excellence! We all went speechless, when they were unpacked from the shoe box... - This amazing Ravello Cordovan is reckoned to be the rarest Shell from Alden Shoe Company. - Unbelievably well-balanced in colour, tone and shade. Excellent in leather density and smells real nice - Comfortable Barrie Last with a less formal open-lacing look and feel - Flex welt system (weather proof flexible oiled sole) - Speed Hooks Eyelets System

I'm heading to Hong Kong in June and with any luck they will have my size still in stock and I will absolutely be buying a pair!

The beauty of # 8 is that it goes equally well with both navy and gray, making it an ideal suit-shoe color. It's very versatile.

Does anyone have any experience with Alden's Double Waterloc Sole?
Pretty much bit you on these.

Putting the order in tomorrow.

Sup?

bad news ... my #8 longwings developed a "rough" spot on my left shoe size of a quarter. the DC alden store is sending them back to the factory for the weird discoloration/defect ... i should have took a pic
- great service from them, and then alden will just ship back to my house when they can buff/fix the spot

good news ... my #8 LS 5th anniversary boots and the black SF boot came in today

thanks tom

ill try and throw some pics up
