Hello to all

It's been some time since I last posted. Too long in fact. But I'm a regular 'lurker'. ;-)

I recently discovered a really nice Indy-style boot (actually two) at - of all places - Marks and Spencer (I'm in the UK).

Here are the links if anyone is interested...

(I bought the style above, and will alternate with my Alden's)

Any probs with the links and I will post pics for anyone who's interested.

Best regards to all

Good finds - I actually thought pair #2 looked more Alden-like, but they both look like good boots. I'll have to check out Marks and Sparks next time I'm passing.

You didn't hapen to spot any close-enough Indy trousers when you were there, by any chance?

Cheers,

Al

Sorry - no close matches on Indy trousers.

Agree with you that the 2nd pair look more like Alden's. I went for the first pair on the basis that they were Indy-esque, and not as an Alden replacement per se.

Is it possible to resole a pair of boots like this? If so you have got a near perfect clone and in the UK too!!

By the way, I have to ask.... if you live in Scotland, why Arizona Smith?

Hi Ken

Not sure whether these boots can be re-soled, but I don't see why not.

As to 'Arizona' Smith... I came up with the name many years ago when I made a short Indy spoof (on video), which included a two-car version of the truck chase, with stunts.

How's your own project coming along?

Well ups and downs... what we have so far is good, trying to get funds together to finish it.
