I believe these are called 'cap toe'(not steel toe) boots, as opposed to Indy's 'moccasin toe' boot.
Nice find tho'!

Someone could ask that to Mr White of Alden shop
It would be interesting to know they are in production from 30's

From what I recall, Mr. White told me once the 405 has been in continuous production since the early 1900's. Regards! Michaelson

When I got my Aldens I showed them to my Grandad. He said when he was a boy boots of that style were very common.

Yep, when my dad first saw my boots he said they were the exact type his grandfather wore everyday. Dad is in his sixties if that gives you any idea.
Incidentally, his name was Napoleon Bonaparte Atchison ... of Alabama.
(really).

Those boots look quite similar the British Ammunition boot from the WWII era. I have a pair of them with my British Airborne kit. They are really comfortable boots. The only difference is the British ammunition boot has pebble grain leather. Otherwise very close.
Are the soles leather?
Thanks for sharing the picture Real Henry.
good find my friend
