Beautiful. Arrow, those swapped out soles are awesome!

Can't wait to get my pair of #8 captoe boots from J.Crew.

[djarrow]

I like what you done with the sole, the way the Cat's Paws are integrated in the leather looks great.

Where did you get this done?

Pretty nice collection btw.

Thanks for your comments.

I had Al from Al's Attire (San Francisco, North Beach) do the resoling for me.

Can't decide which one to get:

[ThinFinn]

this thread Is fucking killing me...

david - great pair of boots there but i got an other question for ya why have you switched from nikon to canon?what are the differences/reasons?...thanks in advance. PM so we don't shit up the thread!

[Manx]

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

Not trying to push another brand here but in answer to your query:

Trickers makes one called the Ilkley. I'm not sure if they do an oxford as well. Seasons ago, Junya did a variation that was stunning. Tres carried them. I want a pair very badly.

[david3558]

From StyleForum, a sizing guide!

[nameness]

That is really helpful, thanks.

[joelz]

Update:

Here's my modest Alden collection:

[Vampyrvargfesten]

nice collection

what's the rubber pad on the cap toes?

[david3558]

nice collection

what's the rubber pad on the cap toes?

It's a Vibram sole protector, it's really thin and I have them put on all my shoes, I like it better than the Topy type as it has small ridges for extra traction - it helps when the office floors are marble and slippery as hell after rain/snow.

[erk]

I was requested to post these here, so here we are.

these are my only aldens, but I would like to get some more.

this is from when they were somewhere around 1 year old.

this one is from a few months ago...around 2 years use. treated with obenauf's LP and Kiwi brown shoe polish.

I was checking out leather sole and their new Ultimate Jumpers... I love my Ultimate Indy's I just had to check them out.

They have a cap toe, but in the photo it doesn't look symmetrical to me... is it an optical illusion? The left foot looks crooked.
