Hey everyone,
I'm looking into a pair of Alden Indy boots and deciding which type of sole I want. I'm not a fan of the Neoprene sole, so I'm looking into one with lugs in it.
The Kudu 404 has a Vibram sole on the bottom which fits in theory, but I've heard that the sole is simply glued whereas a Commando sole is welted on. Does that mean I can only resole using another Vibram sole? Or can I replace the sole with anything I choose? Also are there advantages to one over the other?
Thanks!

Nothing is "exclusive" per say. I agree, on the Plaza last would be very nice. It's probably something I will order very soon.Originally Posted by LeatherSOUL
Hey Tom,
How do I get on the list for this? Looking for some sort of Whiskey Cordovan Plain toe in a Plaza... I've only ordered 1 pair of Aldens from LeatherSoul... do I need to order more to get on the list?

....650 pages. You would think there would be a dedicated sub forum for alden talk by now. Sorting through a 3 yr old message string for answers to questions is tedious work.

Which is the sleeker/more-modern last between the Barrie and Grant?
I am going to pick up a pair of cap-toe cordovan boots, I'd ideally get them on the Plaza last, but can't find them in stock anywhere. Would like to buy the closest comparable.
