When I see this kind of stuff I just want to take a moment out and thank some of the gentlemen in the Alden community here on SF for not trying to take advantage of other members by jacking up prices on rare shells.

I recently have procured rare shells from several prominent posters in this thread in the last several weeks and I wanted to thank them for their fairness.

Trying to decide on an all-purpose winter, fall, wet weather black boot on commando. I'd wear it with denim, chinos, corduroys, and occasionally wool pants and dress slacks. Here are my three options all on commando...

Leffot Alpine grain black Daytrippers
AoC AF60 - Black Shell cap toe boot on barrie
AoC AF43 - Black Shell Plain Toe boot on trubalance

Any other suggestions for similar offerings?
Thanks in advance, again fellow enablers!

Which one between the alpine daytripper and the 4065 on commando?

I tried to be charitable and thought that maybe the seller mistakenly chose USD as the currency instead of HKD. Perhaps he really intended to set the BIN price at $580, then we could have all marveled at the luck of the forum member who scored at such a sweet price!

I like the look of the black alpine grain daytrippers. I like that they have commando soles as well.

I was weighing the exact same options and ended up pulling the trigger on the daytrippers. I love the ruggedness of exposed eyes and the grain leather combined with the sleekness of the grant last. They seem like they dress down the best, which is a plus for me since I'm in denim so often.

My exact thoughts as well. Have a pair on the way from Leffot.

I haven't been around much the last few weeks... has anyone heard anything new on the Madison Ravello WT Boots on Commando? I see TSM's beautiful boots (that I was supposed to be on the list for!! ) and I'm jealous.

Okay, I am going to have to look at them again. Too bad they aren't Black Grain Shell. ;-)
