Fantastic!! I love the waterlock sole. I wish I could find a color 8 chukka boot with that oiled sole. Do they make such an animal? My suede chukka has that sole but I haven't seen it in the shell/barrie version.

So guess what? Six pairs of Aldens since October and nary a nod of acknowledgment from the unwashed masses until I start neglecting my short wing boots (Ravello, thank you) -- including major scuffage and non-buffing -- and they begin drawing compliments like nothing else has before. I've been wearing them with some cuffed APC New Standards. So for you guys with your gallery-lit Aldies sealed in Permamint, you're missing out. 'Just sayin'.

Fantastic, man. Can you post what size you are in those shoes, along with your Barrie last size? I understand that Grant can go either way on TTS or size-down. Thanks! EDIT: Also, where'd you snag those? I know that LS just did a preorder for a #8 shortwing, but it was on the Barrie so I passed.
