New 403s

Post by knibs7 »

Hey y'all. I finally caved and ordered some 403s, the first gear I've bought in about 8 months (the longest I've ever gone LOL)

I really like the color of them and of course the feel as well.

To those of you that have 403s, do you find that they fit the same as 405s?

Here they are...

Let me know what you think :TOH:

I think they look like all the other pairs of 403's we've seen. :P

Since you asked other owners, do you think the fit is the same as 405s?

My 403s are a bit looser than my 405s. I think this is due to the loss of the fabric liners.

Is it possible to get fabric liners added to boots? :-k

I've heard the leather liner actually fits more snug as I believe Alden didn't chuck out the lining all together, but rather replaced the cotton duck with leather.

Is it even possible to order a new pair of Indys with canvas lining or is leather the only option as even Adventure Bilt shoes have leather liners?
