"The common denom. with your boots is that you are using the same brown shoe polish on all your boots, makes a difference. I think you may have been mixing 403's and 405's? The 403's are an orange cordovan color, while the 405's are darker brown/deep cordovan when new. The 405 color is closer t...

Jeff,
I agree! They weren't exactly inexpensive. FORTUNATELY I couldn't find my size - this time.

Ok well has anyone lately gotten a stetson temple lately? Im very interested to find out how good they are plus what are they made from? Plus they are at a great price.

I agree with everything said here. But I find it frustrating some of us (me included) feel self-conscious wearing our gear, especially the fedora. I always wonder why we feel that self-conciousness. Is it because it is from a movie? We all know that isn't the whole picture as that style existed long...

riothamus, My first pair of 405s were too big - exactly as you described. I always thought they were too long, but talked myself out of returning them because 1. I waited so long to get them (both in terms of after seeing Raiders in '81 and also after ordering them from the SF store 20 years later) ...

Hi Azuma,

After not hearing from the local store for several days I decided to bite the bullet on an online purchase. Supposedly they shipped on Friday, but according to the store they shipped direct from Alden. However, the local NC store said Alden didn't have my size in stock of the 404s... :-k The online...

Gentlemen and Ladies, I thought I would add my two cents to the KotCS rucksack thread.

I'd long been an Indy fan and had been on a quest for In...

I'm glad our investigation has payed off. I can't stress enough how valuable Alden Restoration is. I use a local cobbler for heel replacement that does just a wonderful job. However, I choose to leave the sole replacement to Alden only because I love the soles they use so much. My 405's are due for...

I've always been fond of the 'red' version of the 405's myself. You can keep the color with application of Melatonian 'Brick' shoe creme, if you're not already using it. Congratulations on your retirement, and thank you for your service to our country, my friend! :TOH: Regards! Michaelson Michaelso...

Riothamus,
FYI, ebay has a pair of 405s the owner resoled with commando soles in size 12. Description says they're brand new and worn only five times. Thought I'd let you know.

I would have to say no. I have noticed no size difference in the boots. When I first put them on, it reminded me of the day I first got them seven years ago. They had that new feel all over again. I wish I had taken detailed pics of them before the restoration. Let me tell you, the heels and soles ...

I wandered into Leather Soul Hawaii yesterday to show a friend. He was interested in a pair of 403s. To my surprise a pair of Ultimate Indy Boots were sitting there amongst the 403s and 405s.

Although I don't own any Aldens, I did grow up on a farm/ranch and rode horses for working cattle. It was probably muddier than what you might have to deal with, but that's one reason I'm not sure I'd want to wear them for that unless you keep them just for work boots in the mud (especially after g...

wwtwo

The only issue you might have is the lack of traction with them. They have no tread what-so-ever. In wet, slippery conditions, you'll be spending more time laying in the mud then walking thru it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you're doing farmwork, get a good pair of Timberlands, Red Wings, etc... Al...

I can't speak for wearing them on a farm but I can tell you that they are rock solid footwear. I have a pair of 405s and 403s and I wear both of them a LOT! To work, doing yard work, cutting down trees, hiking, etc. If you are considering buying a pair but are concerned with durability then I would...

Does anyone live or work on a farm, specifically a horse farm, and wear their Aldens for day-to-day duties? If so, have you found your Aldens up to the task, or otherwise? Thanks!
