ahhh...your first pair of aldens....what a great feeling of slapping those puppies on your feet. indiana jones' official boot. many come close but nothing beats the real mccoy.
i still wear my first pair and though they are the least expensive of my 405's.....they are the most comfortable by far. i don't get it, but they are. they've treaded on new york pavement in a chilly spring, jamaican sand, mountain trails......they are just saturated with memories. i hope yours will treat you just as good. cheers.

Great boots . Wear them well. I love my Aldens . I wear my boots a few times a week and I had them for around 3 years . They are worth every penny. I would like to have another pair. But I can't wear out the first pair. My wife said your boots still look good . Why buy another pair. But you guys know that we can't have enough Indy gear. 2 pairs are better then one.
Upper foot area seam?
Those are great looking boots. I am curious about the stitching around the the top of the part that covers the foot (whatever it's called). Is there a seam that one with hammertoes can rub their toe knuckles against? I've had boots with a seam there, and it can be painful.
Thanks, Ken.

That stitching is partly cosmetic, and I beleive it also holds the liner in the toe area as well.
Best bet is to send a PM to Schmidty and see what he says...
If I wasn't wearing mine right nw, I'd take a look inside for you!
Alden has another model, same last (same boot really) in black with no toe stitching. But, we Indy fans like the toe stitching as it is a bit iconic as it was used this way in the movie... ;-)
