A good day for Leffot's Naval boots

Spoiler

Very nice sazon. These boots are becoming one of my favorites. Love the socks!

With the upcoming rain, government falling to pieces, and a little work today...
I think the Commando sole Chamois Indy is in order today.

RTP, Buy those boots, deal with the consequences later. Hide them for a while, use one of DocAlden's visa gift cards, whatever it takes.

I have a collection of about 30 pair of Alden and realized I consistently only wear certain ones so I am slowly thinning
the herd. Of the boots I am keeping, I've decided that I'm going to wear them into the ground, especially my whiskey Indy boots. I now wear them for working
in the yard, trouncing threw the mud, climbing over logs and rocks, etc. (about the only situation I am planning to not wear them in is in deep snow or times when there is a lot of salt on
the ground). However I still clean them off and buff them out each evening and put my shoe trees in them.

I put them through the motions that they were built for but still want to maintain
them.

That is one school of thought, yet another is to ship those 8ds to Louisiana for some extra Christmas cash.

I find that slip on to be an odd looking shoe. Someone did you a favor

Ha--thanks! At the very least my wallet appreciates it.

Color 8 Cap toe boots from Alden SF

 

[Coldsnap]

What's a fair price for #8 Cap Toe Boots from Shoemart? In mint condition, look almost new.

 

[MrDV]



Thanks for sharing namor. I'm always curious to see how members store their shoes.

 

[MrDV]



#8 NST on Plaza was my grail. These are in outstanding condition at a fair discount. At the very least, pick them up and sell something you own on the Barrie to recoup.

RTP, this is exactly what I would do if these were 10.5

Any thoughts on when I should replace the soles on my Alden's? The black rubber portion is looking a bit worn in the back right corner. Wait until they strike leather?
