Which Alden Chukka?

[Marbles29]

Versatility and Look the most important criteria. Tan forefront, snuff background. Disregard laces.

In these types of situations, it's best just to get both.

I was in the same dilemma. I bought the dark brown one because darker colors go better with different colors - in my opinion. In addition, the lighter one reminded of Clarks and they seemed to require more maintenance.

Great shoes, but get them snug...they will stretch.

Good luck.

On the other hand, 1 will look like 2 in no time.

those are beautiful. how do they hold up over time? (multiple resoles) do they get out of shape?

I like both. The lighter ones for this time of year and the darker ones for fall/winter.

Suede in (a wet) winter?

If I had to choose only one to start with, it would be the lighter of the two.

There are plenty of dry winter days where I live.

I like them lined.

 

[Bartolo]

Any recommendations for a water proofing treatment for the unlined Alded chukkas?

PG's stirring testimony aside, I think the darker suede might be better going into the fall.

I love them both as well as some of the shell options. You can't go wrong either way.
