They look good. But I would remove the loop on the back of them. They would definitely look more Indy-ish. (and your pants wouldn't get hung up on them :oops: )

Looks ok but still, in my opinion, the Rockport Farnums are the best Alden look-alikes.

The Work America men's boot isn't bad. Unlike the first pair, these boots do have the white threading on the boots. The pull loop isn't such a big deal and you can cut it off if you want to get a little closer to the Alden's look.

Swap out the laces to get a little closer to the authentic look and it would work quite nicely. Only dedicated gearheads would notice the count difference in eyelet and speed lace hooks and the slight color difference in the soles.

If you want to have an adventure it looks like these boots will fit the bill nicely since they're built for work. And at $99.95 the price has an appeal.
