Shoes that look better with age...

[pepper davies]

nice find! lucky you can fit your dad's shoes - my dad's shoe size is like 2 full sizes too small...

My dad wears a 9 and I wear a 13.5. We wore the same shoe size when I was 7.

[phive-oh-won]

haha... after I hit a size ten, my feet (and my height) pretty much stopped growing. Fortunately, my dad topped out at a 9.5 so I can still slide my feet into most of his old stuff. On the other hand, my dad wore the hell out of most of his shoes so only a few pairs have survived.

HH, I know exactly what you're talkin' about. Here are my green Vietnam Era jungles from March 1998 with a high spit shine. I know it's hard to tell, but look at how mine and the other Marines boots reflect the light. Back then Marines spent their Sunday's starching and ironing their uniform and stripping, polishing and spit shining their boots - those were the days...

Recently purchased Blundstone 062

Finally got my Maltons back from the cobbler. He couldn't find a single Vibram distributor in Australia that had a commando sole wide enough for the boots. So he got then closest substitute. Next time round, I'll probably have to order the sole myself from overseas.

for 22 bucks, i might as well show people in great detail, and i would like to know if there are any glaring problems. LOTS O' PICTURES. hopefully no infractions because of the amount of pics.

Looks like a sloppy job of trimming the heel to match the stack. (Either that or a poor job of creating the stack so it sits flush to the heel.) Could present a problem if you catch it one something...

[wgmds]

So i should have them shaved down a little so they actually fit it correctly? I noticed that it wasn't a smooth fit

[coleslawyum]

Yeah, looks like a sloppy, rushed job. But I guess you can't complain for $22. I would have them shave it down to be more smooth if it bothers you.

[wgmds]

Honestly, I just cut that shit off. Possibly a ig no no, but whatever. I'm not bitching really, and it was cheap.

Damn Jason - if you were a 10.5 instead of 9.5 i'd be more down.

Trust me, if I were a 9.5 instead of a 9E I'd be keeping them!

[baldy]

man those are nice, i def woulda bid on those if i didn't just buy some suede chukkas

[pepper davies]

you were a size 9 when you were 7 years old? i'm like a 8.5-9 right now

I remember my mom taking me to Saxon shoes, and the salesman was like "You've got bigboy feet. Lets bring some bigger shoes out" and I just started crying hahah. I was bummed.

Those are amazing. I saw them on the web and didn't think much of them, but seeing those photos make me really really really want a pair. Too bad I'm not your size. I'll have to hunt down a pari of PTBs in #8 in the near future.

[fre-co]

If I wasn't so broke, I'd pay the buy it now price in a heartbeat.

Edit: unless you'd want to swap them for my #8 indies in 9D

[ThinFinn]

@indigo: rep'ed...maltons looking nice mate...

[pepper davies]

I don't wear these much anymore, but they have about 1 year of hard daily wear. Clarks Desert Boots.

[Layne]

ADH92, best color of DBs in my opinion... always such a great looking shoe. Mine look the same except with an indigo ring just below the ankle.

[cheapmuthafukr]

My mom found my dad's old shoes when she was packing stuff up to send to the goodwill. I don't know much about shoes, but they say Allen Edmonds on the shoes and the shoe trees. They also say that they're made in the U.S.A. They fit perfectly, but are a little too snug when I wear my custom insoles. I'll probably just wear them without the insole.

very nice... i have those same shoes and love them

[reyreynaldo]

are these bad boys from alden collection?

[joelz]

Those are Alden Indys (405)

[ThinFinn]

^^^want them so bad...

[wgmds]

I was very happy that I only paid 270 for mine. Even though they're duck lined, still a super deal.

[jasonfoote303]

I believe those are the J Crew Indy. Definitely not the 405

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i prefer the duck lined myself
