Shoes that look better with age...

[Aquaphor]

Is scotch-grained shell a more recent creation? I haven't seen it being offered on any other Aldens before...

Can any one recommend a boots for me?

Coz I'm not tall, only 174, the 19hem/17.5hem raw is a bit long for me but I don't want to hem it.

Want to buy a pair of little heel boots for spring summer using, budget is around 250. Dark brown or black is ok:)

Thanks

P.S. The boots should be match with a bit slim cut style

Quick question again on the Indy's.

Is it true that standard Indy 405's are now leather-lined, or are the leather-lined version called the 403's? I remember reading somewhere that the ones produced now are all leather-lined, but I could be dreaming.

my indy's came out last year and they are duck cotton (?) lined. I love em to death bro, go for it. i will post pictures sometime soon. i really need a summer pair of shoes sadly

Thankyou very much, but red wing is too... big.

I've get this pair of redwing (877) last year, normally I wearing 41.5 for dior so my redwing size is US 9.

It's really BIG.!!!!

[baldy]

so u want boots that are like slim high top sneakers? i think u should save a lil more moneys and get indys then. they seem to be what you are looking for

Saw the lone wolf engineers at BiG last weekend. Beautiful in person.

I was under the impression that lone wolf was going to make these up to size 13 in 2010. Gordon said only up to 11, History preservation just took my name and number and said it may take a year. Anyone hear different?

? sort of likes sneakers

[the Repeater]

Are you dead set on laces

I like Chelsea boots, myself. More down with low Aussie riding boots, but they're usually spensive or spotty availability.

Versatile as can be though. Totally not down w/ Alden...

[the Repeater]

Sebago's are way cheaper

[marineabilly]

I'm not a fan of this style, but I gotta say that Dapper's (Japan) reproduced it to look kinda cool. Not $700 cool, though.

[wgmds]

does anyone know about the alden 705?

It's not new, but it's fairly uncommon. Probably the single biggest user right now is Rider Boot Co. As I understand, you just take standard shell cordovan and do the grain-process on it (stamping).

Since when did American Apparel start selling Red Wing boots?

http://store.americanapparel.net/rwboot.html?cid=138

They've been up there for months. Actually, I thought I first heard about this from your Twitter account, months ago? I guess not

I have been seeing this particular type of shoes worn around SoHo NYC but I cannot seem to track them down. They look a lot like these LLBean signature mocs but with black laces:

Does anyone know what they might be?

could they be LL Bean mocs WITH black laces?

[erk]

could they be LL Bean mocs WITH black laces?

what're you crazy???

[nicolazaro]

Those ranger mocs just came out. Might be Eastland.

I am going to go on the record and say that I think 95% of moccasin type shoes are ugly and in some instances Yuketen really takes the cake. I know they are made well and all, but in the end they still need to look good. Just my opinion. Someone hurry and prove me wrong with a pic of someone looking legit and cool in a pair.

[M4TM]

just took an updated pic :

Not Yuketen, but i always really liked the deck chukka from Quoddy, in bison.

The texture of the bison does add a lot to them, though.

I guess you guys will know this best. Looking into a new pair of Redwings, i've been told they come up quite big, is it worth sizing down at all? Nearest stockist is about 70 miles away from where i live otherwise i would have tried them on. Any help would be appreciated, many thanks!

[baldy]

get half size down from ur usual sneaker size, u should be good. check the "shoes that look better with age" thread for more advice, but half size down is the general consensus

[constantine.]

I usually size down .5 for GTs and a full size in the Heritage Classic Moc.

Shoebuy and Zappos offer free exchanges returns, if that's any help.

[Rivet Head]

Just got a pair of White's Semi-Dress with single leather sole. Anyone else have a pair? I'm wondering how long the sole will last before needing replacement.

[holleman]

I am a size EU42,5 and I had to get my Iron Rangers in EU 40,5.

Best way is just to try a few pair, everybody has different preferences.

[edmond]

ehhh you just got em and you worry about changing soles? just leave em in the cupboard like i do

[Rivet Head]

LOL! I'm gonna wear them until they fall off my feet! It's how I do!

[edmond]

then stop asking! and show us fit pictures jeez
