Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
These are new this season. Considering how good they look and the fact that they are only £65, might appeal to some - especially coming up for Halloween; though I appreciate anyone on here looking isn't just Indy for a day! ;-)

As they are a fashion retailer, they're unlikely to be around after this season.
They'll also ship free to the States as the order is over $40.
Worth a punt, as they say.
Cheers,
Brian

There's a U.S. icon on the home page, and through that I see the bots are $118. Very nice find, indeed.

Doesn't look like there are US half sizes either.

I took what he meant as he did not enjoy the idea of wearing his Aldens out completely so this is a cheap alternative to extend their life?

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
Look good. Do they appear to be made of calf leather?
Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
I'm afraid I don't know that, it is some type of leather. The Next boots are much lighter in weight than my Todds boots.Jeremiah wrote:Look good. Do they appear to be made of calf leather?
Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
Great find thanks. Ordering some today
Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
Thanks for pics, Skyhawker. Side by side you can see the difference, but they'd certainly look the part at a quick glance under trousers. Looking to order a pair soon!skyhawker wrote:I've just picked up a pair of the £65 Next boots. I have compared them to my old pair of Todds and as you can see from the photos they are not an exact match but with a bit of weathering hopefully they should be close enough.

I'm 90% sold on this ones.
The lightweight is definitely a good thing for me.
How about the sizing???
Comparing to your regular size, it fits the same???
Cheers.-
Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
They look good, but I have to tell you, I am getting really irked by boot manufacturers putting those pull tabs up over the top edge of the boot!!! I have a pair of Bass Billy boots and another pair of some cheaper boot and they both have the pull tabs over the top edge...it drives me crazy because every time I sit down or move in a certain way that pulls my pants legs up, when I stand up my pants legs are caught inbetween the pull tab and my ankle!!! I have to dislodge my pants every time...it is the dumbest thing....
Other than that, the boots look great!!!

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
I don't like the tab either. I will cut it off.-
Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
Yeah, those look to be cloth tabs which might be a bit better, but on my other boots, the tab is thick leather. I could cut it off as no one would see it but I have not brought myself to do that just yet.

One question: Are they true to size?

Any updates on this boot? Is it a good quality boot?

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
Difference in weight is probably due to the different sole material.

Yeah that's true. Steel shank is trademark Alden.

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
Those Next boots do look pretty good. I managed to pick up a pair of these in the UK last month (link below). They'd gone into a sale at £33. I snapped them up, but they're now currently out of stock . Who knows though, they may get some more in later.

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
I understand your frustration. We don't do half sizes in the UK. I'm actually a 9-1/2, so it means some 9's fit me and some 10's. This also means some 9's are too small and some 10's are too big. This makes buying footwear online a bit of a nightmare, so the company's returns policy is all important.Indiana Jeff wrote:Doesn't look like there are US half sizes either.

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
The boots I got last month (see above) also have a cloth pull tab on the back and I have the same problem. It bugs me that they snag my trouser legs, but I was planning on folding the tabs over and super glueing them down on the inside in case cutting them off ends up looking a bit rough.Charybdis wrote:They look good, but I have to tell you, I am getting really irked by boot manufacturers putting those pull tabs up over the top edge of the boot!!!

Re: Indy boots - close likeness from major UK retailer
The irony of ironies with the Next boots is that after finding them, they've sold out before I got a pair! Ah well... can only hope they get my size back in stock.
Found these others that are quite close in style, though devoid of the "apron" stitching. Hopefully they'll appeal to some.
