Shoes that look better with age...

[partytaco]

soles look fine what you'll need soon are heels. if you are in nyc try moulded on 39th st. they are pretty quick and cheap....i think it was $20 last time I went in there for foot balance heels.

almost 4 months of solid wear in nyc does hell to aldens - i clearly need to expand my boot collection to rotate these, and clean them up and resole them.

[rnrswitch]

Speaking of Aldens. Here are my Indies. Had them for around 3yrs. Ain't doin nothin too rugged in them other than running around with my son (2yrs) and shooting hoops with him. I put obenauf's on them almost every 4-5months, but no polish or anything. I like the color as is.

BTW, couldn't hang with the nancy-like shoes laces that come with them, they always busted after about 2.5months, so I went with leather straps for some time, now I am using these. They look alright, but not great.

nice aldens...

rnrswitch: looks like you could use some new bottoms on those...

Yeah, I have been putting it off, but I think I am going to get some leather soles, when I do finally get them resoled.

My frye brandos (lace and engineer).

I know frys ain't too popular here, but I like these boots. The lace ups need new soles and will get them soon enough.

[Blackbeard]

Anyone here know if there is a company witch makes a similar pair of boots like these RMC's on the top right? It looks like they have a crepe sole without a heel

[Francis Xavier]

Those look real nice.

[Blackbeard]

yeah they do, i have a pair of RW 9014's and would really like to find something similar to those RMC's. It looks like a 90XX model with a 875sole, to me at the moment thats the ultimate pair of boots

Redwing 8166

[coleslawyum]

^^^Yep, the Red Wing 8165, 8166, 8167 and 9111. I think they are releasing every color in the States except for the black one this year.

[Francis Xavier]

I know it sounds cliche, but I'd really like a black cherry Gent Traveler with that sole.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

I wouldn't mind having a pair of those brando laceups, but made out of the leather used on the engineer version. The lighter stuff looks decent new, but imho doesn't age as well as it's darker counterpart.

Just a quick question for you guys, edmond, fresco, coleslaw, bill, mich...etc

after two years of wearing my trickers, now i have decided to move on to white's semi dress, i traced my foot and send it to whites. I guess i didnt trace my foot correctly. They are giving me a size that i think no way i would fit.

so for reference...

i wear size

US 8C in redwing

UK 7 fitting 5 in trickers

what size should i be getting for whites?

[edmond]

your a size 8c in whites buddy

[fattybfat]

thanks edmond

i decided to get the brown one with single leather sole and natural edge, dont want it to be too bulky or heavy By the way, i ask mark at whites that a C width and D with is a 1/4 of an inch narrower.

but why does some have white interior? is it additional charge, i personally prefer the original color.

[edmond]

leather lining is usually done on bullhide, waterbuffalo and french calf leather which are soft leather so they require this. tell em you dont want no lining but depends on the leather you choose from

[fattybfat]

i'll be getting the full grain brown smooth leather, guess that is just the most common one that was listed on its catelog...

guess no need to worry then, thanks eddie!

I agree with Ed, just go with your size in RW and you'll be fine.

You'll love them.

I've got a pair of the Brando Engineer boots....look killer and I particularly like them because they are lower profile than most engineer boots (shorter heel/thinner sole).

Thirded, I'm about to order a second pair too.

Filson Uplander Oxford

Does anyone have any thoughts on these?

I'm looking to fill the gap I have between boots and dress shoes. They do offer these in a chukka which look quite nice IMO, but I don't need another pair of boots. I love pretty much everything that Filson does and these seem to be really well made. One thing I noticed however, is they are switching manufacturers on these and starting soon they will be made out of the USA... which I think blows.

Does anyone here have experience with these shoes?

thanks!

Thanks milosz! I'm not sure if anyone's posted a link to this site, but they seem to have pretty good prices on Red Wings - www.zonkshop.com .

[?uestionmark]

anyone remember that one site/company that alden did a shoe for? it was basically the 405 without the moc toe. just a plain toe i think on the trubalance & brown calf. having a real hard time finding it in this thread. thanks in advance
