These were a special model with a RUBBER sole that seemed to be attached to a leather sole. You couldn't tell from the top that they were rubber.

I was considering adding such a rubber sole to my parajumpers' leather sole. Does anyone have experience with such a modification? I haven't worn them yet as I thought it would probably be best to attach the rubber sole before.

A lot of discussion about Dovers yesterday so I figured I would wear and post my black ones from Alden DC

800
About 15 wears in. I guess there is slightly more creasing than a lined pair, but nothing that noticeable. Super comfortable and lightweight (almost too lightweight for the cold weather). Smaller and sleeker shoe that probably goes better with suits when all is said and done. However on Monday I wore my 990s with slacks and a blazer and then changed into jeans and a sweater after work to go to dinner and kept the 990 on - I think the traditional PTB works better for that transition, especially in the fall. Decisions decisions...


nephew,
looking good
thank you for posting

I've finally started wearing my 990s around the house to break them in. Sad part is I bought them in person at TSM on 07/30 and am still just getting around to wearing them. The odd part is the shell on the left seems thinner than the shell on the right. Doesn't matter though...I love them. #8 is King!
nephew, wear only in good health

Haberdash has 1/3 off one regular priced item. They don't seem to exclude Alden. They carry some standard Alden models.
Of course the site is getting hammered right now.

Thank you. Just picked up some unlined CXL Dovers.

I actually just went there to buy some 403s. They just so happened to have only size 7 and 12 and guess what which size I happen to be? It's destiny that my big feet shall finally be clad in these. But in all seriousness, these will be my first Aldens. Not my first good boot or shoe and certainly not my first CXL pair, but I'm still super excited. And now I can not feel weird contributing!


Your feet are going to love you. 403's are comfy from the get go.

Do you guys tear through the lining in the heel fast? Just noticed two glaring holes inside my CXL Indys, but that's their second season already.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a Ravello chukka boot in size 10 1/2 D, call Alden DC. I passed on the pair they reserved for me; 'twas too large. Damn you Barrie last!
