Ok, the last time I saw some Aldens, they looked brown, but I think the concurrance was that they were orange. What about these babies? I REALLY want a pair, but I also want them from eBay, as they will be cheaper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Peace,

P.S. Also are sizes 8C and 7 1/2C, respectively.

They seem to go much cheaper on Ebay.

Looks like the dealer is seeling off sizes (widths) that are not big sellers. "C" width is not popular. Standard is "D" in a dress shoe and usually in a work shoe "E" is common. Great deal if you have a narrow foot.

The 10C is definitely the older brown color. What a shame, one size too narrow for me.

Cursed big feet...

I'd need a 12.5 to 13 with an Alden... yar, best keep looking...

I'll admit, those look orange, but the alden website only has a B&W picture last time a checked. Odd...

The color in the third pic looks off to me. The laces look red. It'd be nice if he had a more steady hand during the photo shoot.

Ditto on that one. I have a pair of used boots that is 9 1/2 D, so the 10 Cs are a possibility.

I know that the 405s run a size larger than other Aldens, but are the widths pretty close to other shoe makers? I may still wait until I have an orthopedist measure my foot.

P.S. Did you notice how the seller advised going to IndyGear.com to get info on the boots? Whether or not they are Indyfans, I think it's neat how the site is quoted on eBay.

Aaron once you wear a size 15, let me know, then we can talk about big feet.
