Cap toes Sold!

Indys Sold!

I agree with this whole heartedly...afterall, technically speaking, this would be a Superdenim boot so I would hope it would be a boot that invited being treated similar to "project denim".

I had hoped my going off wouldn't be misinterpreted as not welcoming everyones input...I just went crazy over the comment (not yours) that was something to the effect of..."I've never owned Alden before...but we should do this last, this toe and, blind eyelets all the way up"...or whatever it was. I also didn't mean that owning Alden's is a prerequisite to contributing to the formulation of a forum boot...that comment just seemed to betray that the poster lacked some fundamental knowledge about Alden, and also...about this thread. Its awesome to have newer people or long time lurkers involved, but for me at least, its also important for any boot that is going to be connected to this thread to posses a thematic unity with the entirety of the thread.

That being said, the second coolest part about this thread is that it genuinely is the friendliest place on Superfuture, and in my experience, the internet, and hopefully my cranky response earlier isn't reflective of a change in that regard. I first posted here on page 28 and a few days later I ordered 405s...my first serious pieces of footwear. Those boots are at Alden right now for their first restoration job, and I have learned a hell of a lot over the last 500 pages...hopefully this place is still as interesting and un-intimidating as it was when I first started reading. Welcome!

Sorry to offend. It seems you were referencing one of my posts. Yes, I was giving my opinion on what I'd like to see in a boot. Many of those opinions are shared by some of the regular posters here as well. I was just looking for a boot that fills a gap among my Aldens. I do know the LS options, and I got the Indy in #8 a while back. Anyway, I'm new at this so I apologize for any faux pax that I may have committed. I do respect the regular posters on this thread and I have always enjoyed your posts in particular, literally going back hundreds of pages. Anyway, I've been following this thread for the past couple of years and have read every page. Only recently have I ventured to make a post as it really is a friendly and helpful place. I hope to make more posts in the future, hopefully without sounding too tin-headed. Cheers.

I think that's a great boot. I did hear that if it's going to be blind eyes, it has to eyes all the way up. No speed hooks. On a plaza lasted boot, I prefer blind eyes.

That looks really good actually...The Plaza might be the better last to go with here...With the Plain Toe it really accomidates the last very well...I have to agree with Tom and everybody else here that this should be the SF x LS Boot...

Great. More LSXSuFu special boot talk. I'm definitely in for a cigar, plain toe, plaza or leydon, blind eyes all the way up, double sole, close heel. That would be the perfect for me. But I am up for other options, but it has to be cigar and plain toe. The pair on the modified last a few pages back were awesome.

Hey, is there any further talk about the cigar plain toe boots from a few pages back? Was there ever any consensus on that? I'm just hankering for a pair of non-chukka cigar boots. I have the chukka, and they're great, but I prefer something higher and with a sleeker look.

Incidentally, is anyone interested in a pair Tricker's Stows in Espresso? They are UK size 10 and about 7 months old with very little wear. I'll take some pics of them and maybe put them up in the Supermarket.

My first post. Just had to weigh in on the LS X SuFu Cigar boot. Yes, Leydon works for me, on double leather sole, speed hooks, definitely plain toe, closed heel.

I hope this becomes real. I can wait three years, no problem.
