my Aldens Arrived!

Post by Mola Ram »

Well,
after trying on one pair and having to send them back, another pair arrived at the shoe store yesterday, and were much better than the first. They fit great. I dont think its possible to get a close enough to this boot, considering the level of qualty of the shoe is so high. The guy at the store even gave me a bottle of leather balm for free....

You sure your foot's done growin', buddy? I'd be afraid to get Aldens, thinking I'd grow out of them in a few months!

Even still - NICE boots!!

In Christ,

Thanks guys :)

They are 10 1/2's
A size larger from what i uasauly wear,
but apparently according to the guy at the shoe store
have 100% perfect fit. McFly, my feet have been the same size for the
past 2 years, and ive been told ive stopped growing, so i got the wested
first and now the shoes. These feel really nice! deffinatly the nicest pair of shoes my feet have ever been in!

So was the guy right? And, most important question, what sort of shoes you usually wear?

I uasualy wear skateboarding shoes,
which have really odd sizes. So I was not 100% sure
which size i would be buying. But the salesman at the store had
me try on another pair of aldens, in the same last ("truBalance"),
and 10 1/2 D fit perfectly, so thats the size i ordered. He was
deffinatly right.

Enjoy. It really is important to be measured professionally. These shoes run so differently.
My physical therapist said that the weight of the shoes (4.6 lbs for a 10 1/2 D) might have aggrevated my back condition, but certainly did not cause it.
It seems my back problems started about the same time as I started wearing the shoes. Scared me, I must say. $320 takes a long time to make or save.
I would put "Hush Plates" on the heels before they wear too much.

They are a plastic tap that fits on the heel. You place them where the heel would wear. They are quiet, thus "hush."
They are avialable under a number of names.
