I always thought they were oxblood. To me it would make totally sense, since the style of Indiana Jones in the movies is more on the practical side and oxblood works simply with every color!

I have to agree with you, fedora, about the dimensionel cut. I think it was more common from the late 20s to mid 30s.

If you consider making the bootleg shorter, than you should take them to your local shoemaker.

That's what I just did with a pair of cap toe riding boots to let them be trimmed to Alden lenght, so they'll look more like 1930s dress boots.
