    Gentlemen, been a while. TSM had a special delivery for me today with some cigar Indy’s. I know some of you like to see how the batches look so here you go.

    Thank you. I’ll try them and see if it helps!

    GG round laces are already on the reverse chamois Indy’s. I like them and would buy again. I think those are particularly difficult to lace because the chamois is kind of sticky. I don’t have anything 9 eye in cordovan, perhaps those are easier to lace?

    Hey Alden fam, haven’t posted in a year or so. My name just came up for the cigar Indy boots on the next run with TSM. Of course that is an instant buy for me and I have been waiting years! One thing I have determined over the last six or seven years with all of it is that I really dislike...

    That’s about how long it took me to notice the issues. Maybe I should give them Alden or C&J’s number so they can ask how to do it proper?

    The shell itself I agree, the insole itself appears to be fine. The liner basically just came off. The adhesive material they used just doubled over and lost its grip after only a few weeks. That is crazy! You’d think they would understand what to put on that where it wouldn’t come off after...

    Fake directly from Viberg? These are not purchased second hand, they were purchased, packed, shipped directly from the factory. They are real, they apparently just don’t know what they are doing when crafting boots.

    $1345 for the new Mahogany Shell Vibergs and they look like this on the inside after a few weeks of wear. What a ****** product. I have 14 pairs of Aldens and I have never had workmanship fall apart like this. Is this normal? Do they just not know how to make boots with a Goodyear welt up there...

    Can anyone recommend a floor cleaning product for hardwood floors? ALL of my commando sole Aldens as well as Dainite sole C&J & Vibergs squeak horribly with what we are using now. We’re talking wake the baby up walking down the hall squeaky. People look at you funny squeaky. Since we are...

    The list of household work never seems to lessen. I wasn’t planning on spending hours on a ladder today but the tan Vegano calf caps with deadstock starburst heel are always a treat to wear for any occasion.

    Oh no! Glad I picked mine up a few months ago when I did. I think the only other option is Leather Soul, but you’d have better luck getting Alden to MTO you a #4 boot in your pattern of choice. I’m surprised nobody else makes them, it’s a really great boot.

    My first Alden purchase was a double. 405 and 990. They are most most and least worn pairs I have as the 990s only get broken out for formal occasions.

    How funny, I just took delivery of my Caramel shell cordovan Rancourts this last week as well. Excellent taste sir!

    Is anyone currently stocking king wings with double Waterlock soles these days? I’ve been trying to find some #8 LWBs but the only ones I can find in stock anywhere are double oak. I think Leffot and Brogue were doing them at one point?

    I did the same thing to my 911s. Sanded and Allen Edmonds Chili edge dressing. Worked well!

    All of my shell models still fit similarly to when they were brand new. All of my CXL models are just annoyingly sloppy now. Trying to figure out the best ways to tighten up the fit with CXL when it’s too hot for thick socks.

    Shoe Goo gently applied with a toothpick between the outsole and the commando sole. You’ll need to work it in there with a few swipes usually. Then insert shoe trees and clamp or weigh down with something overnight while it cures. I put shot bags on mine to ensure a good adhesion without over...
