Browsing around Amazon today, I found these - http://www.amazon.com/Orvis-Aviator-Boo ... rvi_cart_2

Look familiar?

I do apologize if these have already been brought up for discussion, but they do look so remarkably similar to a browner pair of the Alden boot...had to ask. Anyone every have a pair of these?

Very similar, except for the obvious lack of "moc toe" stitching. For the price, might as well get a pair of Aldens...

For $325, you can get 405's or 403's, from our very own Schmidty dawg!

Let's take a look:

I wonder if you could get someone to add the stitching to these boots to make them look like the moc toe.........shouldn't be too hard to do

Wow!! Those are really nice. The best part about COW is that more of us are on the web searching.................and finding things that would not normally be stumbled upon...

I really like this style, even though they are not Indy boots.
