    After some use, here are some Alden boots: black shell WTBoots with leather soles. CXL WTBoots with commando soles. Both medium width on the Barrie last, but that CXL is softer and expands so much more. It almost looks and feels like two different lasts at this point! Of course, the welts...

    Fantastic Consuls Juan Manuel! Personally, I really appreciate the shape of the toe of the 173 last. Subjectively more elegant to me.

    Thanks for the notes on kudu. I really like CXL myself, so I guess there's no need to experiment with the kudu.

    First wanted to correct the brand name cuz I got it slightly wrong, ITS rubber company makes the ITShide commando soles. There was a 2009 SF thread that talked about this and some knowledgeable guys said that these were harder than the dainite version (despite my experience that it seemed...

    Although not exactly chamois, the Shoe Mart and others do carry that kudu version of the Indy with the lug soles. I have always resisted buying that version but it looks like a fantastic winter and foul weather boot.

    TOP - Lots of bloom on these black shell boots after a few months of winter hibernation. Bottom - A little bit of water and a lot brushing, then no more white residue/bloom!

    Matty123, I share your opinion of neo-cork and acquire Aldens with commando when possible. I have read here that Alden won't customize a sole replacement, so you're looking at the usual B Nelson, etc. custom cobblers. There are mixed opinions on dainite soles, but I have always liked them. A...

    These shoes have been previously posted, but Nikola's new suede "tanks" reminded me of my go to Church's for bad weather. All several years old and holding up very well. On the left are the Gorsley and Elmsley on rubber soles and on the right are the Tasmania and Grafton on leather soles...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Sometimes Grahame Fowler in NYC has some monkey boots although I don't see any on their website currently www.grahamefowler.com. Maybe a phone call to them might get some luck? I really like that photo of those waxy black boots there! Where is that from?

    I have had a lot of luck reading this thread and catching clues when there are available unicorns at the usual retailers. Then there is ebay, SF, grailed grey market. And then you have to move fast, buy first, think later... Good luck!
