Aldens from 1970s? pics....
Wanted to share my newest find, a pair really old Aldens I got off ebay, (probably bidding against some fellow COW members!). The color of the leather is first thing I noticed, its a true brown, no red in it at all. They are in very new condition, the soles arent worn at all, but they do have some creases in the toe of the left boot. The leather was in need of some Pecards also. The faces on the inside of the boot are canvas, and the tongue is padded in what lookes like really thin felt. I think I now have Aldens from every generation, heres a comparison shot. Far left are the oldest....
Whats also interesting is the heel logo inside the boots. Seems Alden changes is every time they switch leathers. I think they might be from around the time Raiders was filmed, anyone know how I can find out? Any comments?
