Hi Guys
It has taken me best part of 2 years to try and justify a pair of these amazing boots. Todd's Indy boots have served me well to date, but as I strive for greater accuracy of my gear, the Alden boots were a "MUST".
I managed to strike it lucky on ebay as the alternative would cost me even more when you take into account the customs and postage to the UK.
I couldn't be more happier with these boots. They feel soooo comfortable and the quality shines through!
Just wanted to share my appreciation for these fantastic boots. They will no doubt serve me well!
My next upgrade will be my hat.......just order a Penman Cairo.

congrats on the boots. i too live in the uk and paid nearlly £90 !! in customs charges to get my aldens in to the country ,plus it was also a gamble that they would fit ok once they arrived.despite the overall price i dont have any regrets they are great boots - pure indy !!

The customs charges are a serious pain in the nether regions. My boots still had little change out of £250......but that seemed like a good deal to me!
Agreed that they are worth every penny!

How does the sizing compare with Todds?

Compared to the original Todds, the Aldens run a little larger.
