3-4 pics down it looks like the boots end with a squarish type toe. I dont think these are 405s.....

Bbut who knows, I'm just using an iPad to look

If so, it means that Alden's will bring the price of 405's to $750.

Definitely not Aldens... well at least not traditional 405s. My guess would be something like Frye boots or Wolverine Courtlands

They look more like Red Wing Beckmans to me.

Pic no. 2 caught my eye. The stitching seems to reveal wether or not it's actually an alden or not. If someone has a pair of aldens and compares the stitching patterns to the picture, I think we could find out if it is in fact an alden.

Have not posted in a while, but I do believe this the boot that Cruise is wearing. I have seen them in the store in Georgetown and did a double take as in person the look very much like Alden's. He has worn FRYE in the past. Last movie if I recall was Jack Reacher, were he worn a frye Dakota boot.

If you're saying the boots above from MI5 are these Fryes, you are mistaken. Heel stitching seen above, isn't on the Frye boots.

No, that isn't what Stefan said. He said he agreed that these were Wolverines in MI5, but he HAS seen Cruise in the past wear Frye boots, specifically in the last film he saw him in, 'Jack Reacher'.

Did I translate correctly, Stefan?

Thanks guys! The stitching around the toe box does appear to be a bulkier higher profile than a regular 405 or 403. The shell cordovan 405 does bulk a bit more around the toe stitching, but I think these may be Wolverine 1000 mile bouts after seeing your close-ups. Thanks again for the input. :)

This makes me want to buy them right now. But at the price, I'd mind as well go and buy a pair of aldens off of Ebay.

Yep, that's what I meant to say just badly written. Saves me right for trying to do more than one thing at a time. Thanks Michaelson, for coming to my aid. :TOH:
