Shoes that look better with age...

[ThinFinn]

not sure about chucks but if you own any red wings i would go with same size in Alden barrie/trubalance

yeah i own some redwings...9D in the GT9014 round-toe and 9D in the 8138 moc-toe (moc-toe's tighter though so perfect fit in the mocs would be a 9.5D)

yeah, Finn, that works too, my chukcks are 7 - and aldens 7D

thx again beats...well i got chucks from 8.5,9 and 9.5!

8.5 = tight fit and just thin socks!

9 = normal fit without insole!

9.5 = comfy fit with insole!

so a 9.5D should do the thrick on the 405 ?

[beatle]

I would say a 9D considering ur Red Wing size...but if in doubt, I don´t think that half size up is gonna make the shoes unwearable..

Just a heads up, Cultizm is selling some Levi's boots at a pretty deep discount (82 bucks!). Got these ones here: http://www.cultizm.com/product_info.php?info=p676_Levi--180-s--Footwear-1853-San-Francisco-Boot-Tan.html

The tan might look good over time, anyone have any experience with them? Thanks!

+1...

would be awesome if someone who owns a 9d and 9.5D in Aldens could measure the insole for me to compare the differences in length!

will give +rep.

agree with Bealte - Ive had several pairs of RWs over the years and the traditional work boot fit half a size big for me but GTs and chukkas were TTS, I am UK 10 in everything (I was Uk9.5 in Alden Indy though!)

[ranonranonarat]

shameless question

alden size = converse chucks size ???

although i've never tried on any alden before, i was told to go half a size down from your regular size. im a US8 in all my shoes/sneakers (converse, vans, clarks etc) and was told to take a 7.5D.. so im not sure how they would fit you man.

I'd suggest 9d too

Thinfin, you could have bought my #8 indies in 9d for probably less Monet than new 405s had you been interested a few weeks ago.

I just picked up a pair of aldens...and this is how i sized and they fit me perfectly...

shoes sizes 8 / 41

chucks and clarks db 8

sneakers 8.5

Alden on trubalance last 7.5

[ThinFinn]

thx for sharing mate...so i think if i'll go for some aldens in the next couple months i def. will go for a 9D...thx all!

[denimjunky]

^Muahahaha! They are "work" boots.

I have been wearing my SD for a few days now, i like the boot and everything, but my midfoot is REALLY sore, is that normal?

[denimjunky]

^Happened to me with my first pair also. (Only on my left foot, tho)

It will go away once the feet get used to your boots and vice versa.
