The screen shots posted up show quite a variety of boot shades within the same film. There are so, so many variables from the lighting, the level of distressing and environmental conditions such as, earthy jungle temple or desert sand. Even the colour balance on a T.V could effect what a person considers to be screen accurate. Is it even possible to get a definitive shade that pleases everyone?

Just throwing this out there, but there are vintage Alden 405s on ebay right now size 9 EEE. They appear to be in perfect condition and claim to be from the 50's. I didn't know if anyone saw these yet. I figured they would be at least good for historical reference to the original Indy boot, leather, color, etc.

Please let me know if were not allowed to post ebay links. I can edit to remove this if needed as I unfortunately do not own the boots being sold.
