This is the first example of shoe cloning that I am aware of.

If nobody ha dsaid anything, I would have taken it for a pair of aldens. I've seem some attempts at copying the likes of training shoes etc, but nothing this exceptional.

Nice find

I'm buying a pair of these in the cognac (lighter color) today!

Wow I didnt realize the color....ITs more accurate than I thought! All they really need is a some flat brown laces and your done!

Cheers!

Has anyone had a pair who can post a review?

Can sombody explain their sizing to me? They have have:

7H-M
8-M
8H-M
9-M
9H-M
10-M
10H-M
11-M
11H-M
12-M
13-M

I click on their size chart and it doesn't really help with the shoe sizes.

Stands for Medium...probably close to a D width....

Their sizing is pretty "generic".

Later!

I just got a pair today. They seem to be a little taller in the ankle than the Alden's (about 1 1/2" taller). They also feel stiffer than the Alden's I tried on a few weeks ago (but the leather will probably soften). I ordered a size 10 and they are a little large on me, so they may run a little big (I'm returning mine for a smaller size). The color (cognac) appears to be dead-on for the current Alden 405 orangeish color. The sole is black rubber, but not as thick as a hiking boot. The shoe laces have got to go!! They come with a pair of round two-tone brown and gold shoe laces and a pair of medium brown laces. If your going for the basic look of the Indy boot, don't care about 100% screen accuracy (some of the outside stitching around the heel and the side is different), and want to save $100 to $150, these may be the way to go.

I hope this helps a little.

If the shoes will take it, some a light coat of pecards might soften them up a bit....You could probably also get alden laces through Allen White @ The Alden shop for not to much.

Cheers!
