barto78, who is doing that Utip? I really like the makeup. Is it Barrie?

Those all look to be AoC models as I have been on Adam’s site way to much lately. The U Tip is a saddle on Barrie.

Six eyelet straight tip chukkas from B+M. Small welt gouge on the inside heel of the left boot that I don’t believe will be an issue. Other than that these came out great.

Alright folks....Help me make a decision or at least please offer your thoughts. Which of these 3 should i choose? I recently purchased a pair of Color 8 LWB w/ Antique Edge from AoM and i'd like to add another pair of color 8 to my collection. Here are the 3 i'm debating on:

I was originally leaning hard towards picture 3, but after further thought, i think i prefer shoe #2 over shoe #3. That said, shoe #1 is a completely different look than most of the shoes i own, so i feel like that really should be my choice. Thoughts....?

U-tips for the win. Looks like you want to pair them with denim, and those vibe perfectly.

For reference, basic Indy boots are now $557 (they were $549, and $530 the year before that I believe). So, at least they went up by less this year . . .

Congrats on the new Chukkas, they look good.

That welt gouge is normal for Alden. I believe that is where they start/finish the welt line. It has never impacted performance on any of my shoes. Just an artifact of their production.

Yes, all 3. but if shoe #1 is a totally different look than what you own, that gets my vote, simply for the variety in footwear it offers.

I agree completely, I would go with 1, the U-Tip Saddle, for style diversity purposes.

Hey all,

I’m thinking of getting a pair of Loden boots, but I’ve never seen this color in person. Is it tough to wear or does it go with more than I’m imagining? Thanks!
