Here are both pairs of my Aldens

The heavy distressed had been on many adventures, traveled with me trough a few countrys and survived a Bushfire, too. I'm wearing it in the 5th year and they're my workingboots right know
I do wear the other pair not seldom but more for walk outs and stuff like this.





Although the newer boots are in much better condition and feel are much more practical (since the old are a size too large) I still like this dirty old pair of smelling boots best

Great pics!

I love looking at pics of Aldens, especially when they are used. I plan on getting a backup pair to keep nice once mine start to really wear.

Great pictures, I got my pair two months ago. They are not quite as distressed as your adventure pair yet. I think natural distressing is the way to go.

Thanks for sharing

Now THAT'S how a pair of Aldens SHOULD look. Mine are getting pretty beat, and are going to need a new set of soles and heels by summers end.

Hmm... my boots look like something in between those...
Nice Aldens, BI! I really like the distressed ones... very Indy.

Your aldens just look like Indy's, I like them very much. If I remember correctly you once told me that your first pair got this weird color (I don't know exactly). But after all this time they were covered with dirt and dust; very indy-ish. Love 'em!

You know, the thing about Alden's is, if you took that old beat up pair, cleaned them and polished them, they'd look more or less like that pristine pair you have. It's gotten to the point that I hate when I have to clean and polish my boots, because they look brand-spakin new when I do it. That's ok though, as all it takes to get them scuffed up again is a few days in the life of Indiana Guybrush.

Good Looking pics. Love the comparison of a dress boot and a work boot. Nice contrast.

Cheers!

Great looking boots.

I dunno, I've always liked cleaner looking Aldens myself.

I like my aldens best after walking the #### out of em till they get dry. After this cleaning and treating with shoepolish. After you shined it, walk through some dry dirt and shine again with a scrap of cloth. The moc toe stitching looks perfect after it and the leather gets a very deep shine.

I'll post a picture at the end of the week when I'm going to clean my working boots.

Thanks for your comments. I might be the only guy in here but I love my boots allmost the same than my jacket and Adventurebuilt

Great pics for great boots !

Your old boots look amazing BreinederIndy !

Hope mine will turn like yours !

I just cleaned ONE boot of my favourite pair and made a picture of it with his twin:

points of wear which made the attraction of your old pair seems to have disappear with the cleaning !

However, they still look great

If it was its twin, you'd have two right feet!




have a nice day.

hats or jackets, so your not alone.

you'll see Molorom : You will put your feet in and you will never want to take them off...

I wear them every day i can

but the problem is : i don't have enough pants that match with !

The distressing spots are comming back after 2 weeks in work

Not really, it's quit awhile ago when I spend 2 weeks cleaning my aldens
Well, beeing serious, it took me a hour for every single boot in the first 2 years
Pagey, your new provile picture is amazing! Where did you made it?
And, by the way, how much did you had till you was ready to wear a piton-necktie?

You've convinced me to use my Aldens for work.. I hope I get the same result..
