I finally got my "good-enough" Indy shoes and at the very last minute before Wizard World got them aged. They still need a litte bit more work so it is back to the Indiana Jones workshop for more leather staining.....! I probably will need to do a little bit of sanding with very fine sandpaper and staining!

These are Work America purchased from Shoemall.com through Amazon.com. They were $99.00 but I was able to find a free shipping coupon plus a $10.00 off code. They arrived in about 10 days.

Not a bad fit but they are a bit heavy if you are not used to wearing a work quality boot. Together they weigh about 4 1/2 pounds.

Shoelaces were replaced with ones I found at Neo39 Active Sports. They are from a company called Skates. The brown are a little too wide so I purchaes a 54 inch plain white that I will dye. The brown laces are 48 inches long.

Those look really close to the real thing. People who do not want to spend the Alden money should look at these.

If you've got a western store that carries Justin Boots, they make a great small round dark brown lace in 54". It's bigger than a dress shoe lace but smaller than a normal work boot lace. I assume it's made for their roper boots which is similar to what we wear so it works great for the look. That's the one I use since my Alden laces gave up.

Rockport Farnums for $60
