Thinking about a pair of Alden 405 "Indy" boots ...

[cmeisenzahl]

Anyone here have a pair? Any pics to share? How do you like them?

Any reason I should definitely be talked into, or out of them? ;-)

Thanks!

It's too bad they don't make them in "brown" anymore.

You can pick up a brown pair from JCrew Also, you may want to wait a little. Alden is releasing some new models soon, including kudu.

I have a pair of 405s and I wear them almost all the time these days with jeans. I've even worn them days on end last time I traveled.

New models are coming out, but the price is going up. They're great boots either way.

I always thought they were fine but at the same time always chose other boots over them. RW GT, Tricker Stow, Alden cordovans, etc. I think I still want a pair of RM Williams and CJ Conistons before I think of Indys.

Base model in what appears to be an honest-to-God brown color. Those are the ones I want, assuming they're ever restocked.

I'll be going to the UK in about 6 months and would like to try on a pair of Aldens (can't try them on in Australia as nowhere stocks them as far as I know).

I'd consider the indyboot but i'd prefer the flex boot or whatever it's called (indy without the stictching) - though I suppose they'd be the same sizes?

The new ones will be leather lined IIRC.
