Congrats
Bastoon,
Congrats on your Aldens !!
What, if anything are you planning on doing to them (dyeing/tinting, Pecard's coat, etc.). Mine should arrive next week. Please report out on how their 'breaking in' progresses.

I miss the look of new Aldens.
I took my Aldens on a jungle trek in Belize, Central America. I didn't plan on getting them wet. However, being the start of the rainy season, it just poured as we were on the trail. There was nothing I could do and my boots were soaked through and through.
When I got back to the lodge, I dried the out for 2 days using a fan then packed them in my suitcase.
When I returned home in the states, I cleaned them and put Pecards on them. They have been like that for a week now. I need to check to see how they are doing.
RonC once said to me, if you are in a survival situation, and you lose your shirt, you can probably make it back safely. If you rip or tear your pants, you still have a chance of getting back. If your shoes, however, start to fall apart and fail, your chances of getting out of the situation alive greatly diminish. Now, I wasn't in a survival situation but I felt a lot better knowing I had to go the distance, Aldens would get me there.
I don't suggest you do this purposefully but at the same time, don't be afraid to trust your Aldens.
My rule is don't cheat your feet.
