I know Red Wings aren't exactly a "top tier" boot, but they're damn solid. I've been wearing these GTs every day for a year and have put them through hell: 10+ mile hikes, biking, and a 3-month stay in Europe. I love them (though I'm psyched that my Bounty Hunters will be arriving soon...).

[erk]

^^those look fantastic. i can t rep you again though

[zackl111]

i just bought those in the black cherry, they are my first pair of grown man boots, i am looking forward to them.

RW GTs have very good cost performance, IMO.

you get a lot of boots for the money.

well, you know what they say about guys with big feet...

[illumin8em]

can someone point me the direction of a boot that is similar to jstavrin redwing GTs from a couple of posts back, but without a commando sole? Actually, is there anything darn close to exact but with a flat/leather sole? I have to wear commando type of sole with a steel toe five days a week and would love to able to get out of it but still wear a similar boot.

[jacob_davis]

just got my new black indy boots.

[YoungPunch]

I know some people do not care for the color combo, but I think the black Indy's look good!

jacob_davis, did you get them from the NYC Alden store?

[Happy Hooligan]

you might try a white lace... might look cool with those natural edges

I picked up a pair of these longwings by Dexter shoemakers of America at goodwill for $8.

Not my photo. The pair I got is much darker. I also saw like 6 pairs of bass weejuns and a pair of bass white bucks with the red sole, all in size 13.

[mechanical pencil]

well, you know what they say about guys with big feet...

Yup!

Big shoes...

[rnrswitch]

Nah, he means big fucking dicks.

[mechanical pencil]

Yeesh. Tough crowd....

I just got my first pair of Alden Cordovan shoes (finally) I think they are #8 not sure of the model or last, so I'm gonna have to post pictures when I get home to my camera.

They are hella nice and a snip at $60!

I also finally got a pair of Redwing 9011 courtesy of a sufu member. It's been a great day!

[fre-co]

Here are my new aldens:

Anyone familiar with the model number 9928? Do we know what last these are on?

[rnrswitch]

Nice looking shoes. I love the blucher style shoe. They get some nice soft creases.

$60 huh. That is ridiculous for those.

[Bill2]

Never seen those before! They look like a non-perf saddle shoe. I would guess they're on Barrie from those pictures. They look pretty full and straight-lasted.

[fre-co]

Thanks guys.

Bill, thats what I thought too, but they are definitely more pointy than my indies.

Here's a fit pic:

[jstavrin]

I'd give you rep if I could.

[baldy]

damn those are a steal, can we get a fit pic?

[pomata]

great deal, Fre$co!

[fre-co]

The seller is a friend of mine and he's told me about them before. They were part of a limited run that Alden did for a European customer. They are basically a cross between the 990, which is their plain-toe blucher and the saddle shoe, but as you noted without the brogueing on the edges of the saddle piece.

This is what AAAC had to say about this model last year.

I guess that could have been Anatomica in Paris.
