With this weather I’m glad I’m wearing my Alden 405 with my new Okayama Denim x Japan Blue Sapphire slub denim

Mine are that exact colour. Barely worn anything else for the last three months or so, the soles are really hard-wearing. They took a week to stop blistering me when I originally bought them ,but some couple or three years later now they are superb. Shame they're pricey here in the UK (more so now with the weak pound), but they are great. I'd love to be able to buy a pair I could polish.

Actually, in terms of boots with a sheen., I've just today discovered the new(?) Wested Adventurer boot, essentially their take on the Alden Indy classic. They seem to have reviewed well among the Indy hardcore; I'll certainly be looking into them in due course as an affordable alternative. I know the Aldens aren't badly priced in the US, but last I looked in the UK they were GBP400 (compared to GBP250ish for a pair of Iron Rangers). The Wested boots are GBP110.....

Those are absolutely gorgeous! It's great to see a pair in that condition!
I have two pairs of those too. The other pair I had cropped to ankle height by a cobbler as I grew tired of the buckles, haha. Then I started to miss the buckles so I bought another pair! Too bad the second pair was in a quite heavily used condition despite being marketed as "dead stock".
Overall great boots and would buy for the 3rd time!

Your wish is my command Bfd70! Not the best photos I'm afraid.

Or I would upload some photos If it would let me. Can't seem to load direct from my computer. Presume they need a host site. Any ideas which?
