superbeveridge, great job on resoling those Roy Boots! Always nice to see a fine pair of boots given new life. +Rep

also questioning what i should treat them with^

any ideas greatly appreciated

After cleaning them with a damp towel/ rag, I would suggest using Pecards or Obenauf's. Ps, those things look thrashed! You will surely enjoy them even more once you treat them. Can't wait to see their outcome...

whats an aberdeen last? can someone explain the shape of this? is this wider than a plaza? narrower than barrie?

Aberdeen last - slightly longer than regular U.S. size (Narrower than the Barrie)

More info on Alden Lasts and Sizing from Alden of Carmel

Free Bump for some good product!

Now the only question is whether to cuff, or not to cuff.

Glad you are liking them and cannot wait to see their progress! I am going to say Cuff them.

epauletshop, anything in the works in cigar ?

Funny you should ask. Keep an eye on our affiliate thread on Thursday!!!

What are your favorite Alden Longwing makeups? I'm in the market...

Looking for something that can be worn pretty casually, not too shiny

You might like the new "West Egg" Longwings we just got in!

I'm in a size 8 in Barrie ,.... will this translate to a different size for any of the other lasts?

I want to see a pebble grain oxford with commando sole... does this exist?

only thing similar to this is the LS x Alden safari boot, if i recall correctly

Alden has a ton of different lasts, but the most common equivalents to the US8 Barrie would be:

US8 - Tru-Balance

US8.5 - Leydon

US8.5 - Aberdeen

US8.5 - Plaza

Most of the interesting shoes you see from Alden come from stores with accounts like ourselves. We do not currently have anything like a pebble grain oxford w/ commando sole in the works, but someone else might...

Damn! about time (subscribed!) now we have alot of ground to cover...

lasts, leathers, soles!

lets see some knee down WAYWT shots? EVO?

Thanks Vin. Damn straight we do! I cannot wait to see what surfaces...

Great video, always nice to see a little insight.

Thank you sir. We really enjoyed making it and am glad you liked it.

Hey everyone,

Since we couldn't find one, we figured that it's high time for an "Official Alden Thread" here on Superfuture.

We're huge fans of the brand and we felt that having a dedicated thread for ALL different types of Alden footwear would be great. A place to discuss sizing of different styles and lasts, upcoming releases, distributors, care, evolution, etc...

Below is an Alden factory visit documentary that we shot back in '09. If you haven't already seen it, then check it out - it's a great way to get more insight into the company, their process, and its products. Enjoy!

For those of you who were interested in the Thorogood No. 685 Boot in Horsehide, we will be releasing our Spring 2011 Edition made out of "Crazy Horse" Cowhide. For more info and images, check HERE!

morkra, they look great! How long have you been wearing them?

Did everyone jump on the bandwagon and pick up a pair of those Thorogoods? Cause I am going to Epaulet today and he majority of sizes from yesterday to then today are gone! Hope the size they have left fit me well otherwise I will be punching myself for the rest of the day for not ordering them last night.

We seem to have sold a bunch and after updating our stock, it looks like the biggest size we have left is a US10...

Edit: Glad to see you, and happy the 10's worked out! Cheers
