Hi there,
I found some Aldens on ebay and now I'm asking all of you who know something about Indy's shoes; is this pair similar to the "original" Aldens used on the movie? Or are they completely inaccurate? The model seems to be #8300 (according to the item description)
Thanks for the help!
Tom

These appear to be low top versions, don't they? Neat! Regards. Michaelson

Those are really interesting. I haven't been to Alden's site in a while however, I don't recall seeing those there. (as well as the black 86's that were posted earlier.) I wonder if they have a more current catalog.
Curious

Yeah, they are not boots, just "casual shoes". But the color seems to be right and also the price ;-)
I think I'll buy them; they are very similar to the original boots, aren't they?
Regards,
Tom

Oh, before I forget it: Any tips how distressing the boots?

Just walk in them of go hiking in them. Mine are distressing too fast. But they get better the more I wear them.

Probably the safest thing you could do is just give them a good coating of Fullers Earth first before trying anything else.
