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...

You should be fine with a 9 1/2D

I'm looking for a 35mm belt to go with my #8 Alden Longwings. I want it to have a silver color buckle, if possible. Anyone know where to get one? I looked at Ben Silver's belt and I'm not sure if it is 30mm or 35mm, plus it has a gold color buckle.

Maybe there are some color 8 indy releases that do have a storm welt. But I haven't seen it.

They show as full price for me. Any word on the sole? I am looking for a pair of dark brown Suede Chukka's, Barrie Last on a crepe sole. Anyone have any ideas where to find something like this?

Here is a pic from the Suede Shoes - post 'em here thread in Men's Clothing:

But too light for what I want. These look like seconds as well.

Real life pics? Do the colors look similar to what is posted on the site?

Ones on the left are close to the j crew pics (but shinier), ones on the right are not.

^^ Thank you!

Anyone know the "key" to decipher what the series of numbers on the inside of Alden Shoes/Boots means?

I know the Size and Model number. I am referring to the other long string of numbers.

Thanks .

Thanks for the pic.
About to order the tobacco ones.
