I bought a pair of Todd's and after sending the first pair back for another size, I find them delightful. They were more than easy to work with on the replacements and the boots seem to be of high quality to me. I took them to a shoe shop to have the tongue stitched up to keep it from sliding, and t...

I don't think it's really that close, but not a bad looking boot. Probably well made also.

With the big opening weekend of Indy, how long will it be before Walmart, Target, etc. come up with an affordable lookalike boot?

J Crew Red Wing classic boots...What happened to the $$

I just checked on the J Crew Red Wing Rugged classic boots and the price has increased to $225.00!! What the heck is that about? Are they prepping for the latest Indy adventure as well? For that price, just put some dough with it and go for the real thing.

J Crew Red Wing rugged classic boots...which color?

I've been eyeballing the J Crew Red Wing rugged classic boots and was curious about which would be the better color? I like the dark wood myself, but does anyone think the hickory would be the better choice after some dark polish? Check it out..... http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod8...

Indy Jacket at a forest fire...what about the smell??

I'm a photojournalist and was wearing my jacket (and J Crew boots) at a forest fire I had to cover. I was never in any danger of fire but did tromp through the burned out woods chasing firemen and the smoke was pretty heavy. Now, of course, I smell like I was thrown into the pit from DOOM.

Just a small bit of advice if you'd don't mind taking a chance. Wait till the fall season stuff goes out and you can pick up the boots at a substantially cheaper price-maybe half off. Does Red Wing offer these same boots direct from them?

J crew has the new fall catalog out and of course they have some fantastic looking boots available-you can even choose from 2 colors. So which is the best? They are Red Wings, but still, a bit pricey. If you're going to spend $200, why not spring for Aldens? I'll be waiting for the end of season sal...

Has there been any new development on the Carolina Boots talk of producing the Alden lookalike? I haven't heard anything for a a long while now. I'd really like to pick up a pair, but I'm tired of waiting.

My jacket is goat skin. I'd post a photo, but I don't know how to do it. My jacket is dark brown and not broken in at all, but I really enjoy wearing it, though I won't have much more time before the weather gets nice here in the Carolinas.

I think the Hydrator looks a little closer than the Traffic because the bottoms are black. I almost got a pair of the Traffic but the white bottoms bothered me. Not bad looking shoes though. I'm now wearing some just a little too big J Crews!
