My Alden 403’s came today. I ordered them from http://www.theshoemart.com/alden-mens_i ... kboot.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; along with Alden Neutral Boot Cream and Alden Shoe Trees, they arrived at my APO Priority Mail after 11 days. I did a lot of research in the COW General Gear forum before choosing the 403 style boot in 9 ½ D (M). Normally size 9 ½ shoes are a ‘bit tight' on me while size 10’s tend to be ‘roomy’ especially in the heel pocket. Taking to heart the reports that Alden’s running ½ a size big I decided on 9 ½ over 10’s and am glad I did! They fit PERFECTLY!
Cheers,
