is that a for sure thing? I dont wanna spend 500 dollars on some Alden and finding out that they dont fitOriginally Posted by emeterioy
Really?
Your best bet if you cannot go to an Alden store would be to go to Nordstrom or a good shoe store and get measured properly. Then if they say you are a 10 get a 9.5 in Indy.

All I could find is this. I will appreciate if my dear forumites can post some more.Originally Posted by mg428
I do not have #8 Indy's but I would just do it. Classic combo. IMHO you cannot go wrong with Chromexcel, #8 or Cigar Shell Indy's. All should be more versatile and richer looking than black with a new pair of #8 looking black in less than perfect lighting.
The #8 is very tempting to me.

And if you're so worried, just order them from J. Crew. It's not like returning them there is an insurmountable task.

IMO sort of similar, but the heel in the Grant seems roomier. This is one where you definitely need to try on.Originally Posted by gnatty8

Looking forward to picking up a pair of the J Crew Indy Boots. Unfortunately, they're sold out of them for about a month, which gives me some more time to save up!
I'm a 10D in Allen Edmonds Wingtips...would this make me a 9.5 for the Indys?
I figured I'd ask, though I should also go to another store that carries Indys and try on a pair...
