Great pics! Color 8 with antique edging photographs so well.
Just curious what that heel construction is called. Looks like 270 welt but the heel extends further out.

They are a 360 however there is a reverse welt at only 270. I'm not sure what the proper terminology would be for this. If someone knows please share!

That’s a 360 storm welt with a flat welt at the heel. Alden has a storm welt (not pre stitched, looks like a little smooth nub welt) and a pre stitched reverse.

As a follow up to an earlier post, I decided to keep both of these Indys (even though I already own the natty CXL on double waterloc). The Trubalance last just works so perfectly for my foot, and I find them to be extremely versatile for my needs.

I also may or may not be pulling the trigger in the Unionmade green suede make up. Just trying not to get carried away around the holidays.

Also shout out to both @theshoemart and Brogue for their amazing service and quick shipping!
