Wested is just around the corner from me and I have one of their Indy jackets in black (a cancelled, custom order) which they kindly altered in their shop to fit me better. They revealed that their jackets are generally made in London's East End (the historical home of London's rag trade), although some are still probably made on site in Kent, but I've always wondered where these Alden copies are made and how they measure up. Thanks for this.

I wore out the heels on my Timberland Pros, so I cut a couple pieces of scrap leather to shape and glued them in place. Working well so far. Also cut some tanned leather into sole shape and put it underneath the foam insert. Doesn’t take much to improve some of the lesser boots out there

Either way I’m excited for the coming series. Thanks for all the informative work you’ve done, it has helped me from making unfit purchases.

I got a pair of these boots a few years back. In addition to the stuff in the video, they run very small. A well made correctly fitting shoe for me runs between 12.5 to 13 US sizing. I usually err on the larger and get a 13, which is what I ordered in this particular shoe. When I got them and tried them on they were way small. I thought they put the wrong size in the box, but the tag sewn onto the tongue does say 13 US. They feel more like an 11. Very tight. I took them to a local shoe shop that does repairs and such and had them stretched... no-go. Still extremely tight. Initially I tried to return/exchange them but the person I spoke to in England told me that I would be better off trying to sell them due to the high cost of shipping. Not good. So here they sit...

Not sure if it's been covered but I've considered getting (but never bought) JCrew's Kenton Pacer boots. They're retailed at $300, but sometimes have gone down to $150 on sale. It looks like an Indy alternative with a GYW and pull up leather. Would be interested to see if the boot can hold up.

@nicholasdelgiudice2263 9 ай бұрын

I've had a pair for about a year now, put several hundred miles on them, and they've held up really well for me! Pretty good comfort out of the box, break in wasn't too bad, I just recommend thick socks. The mini lug sole is fantastic for traction, but they aren't so aggressive looking. I wear them several times a week in an office setting with jacket and tie (business casual) and they fit in perfectly well. I can happily report that in regular commuting and day-to-day activity, they hold up through Chicagoland winter. No leaks from snow or slush, no terrible damage from salt and winter grime when wiped off after you get where you're going. The only maintenance I have done/do is put shoe trees in when I'm not wearing them, and once every few months I wipe them fully clean and apply VSC. I got them on sale for about $200, and I'm quite happy with them. That said, they're also my first pair of goodyear welted boots, so idk what I'm talking about! Hopefully @RoseAnvil will do a review during Moctoeber!

I'd love to see a breakdown of this boot. I've had mine for about a year now, and it's been fantastic. Served me well at a job where I was regularly walking between 8 and 14 miles a day on tile floors, it's served me fine on casual hikes shorter than 2 miles, and they dress up nice enough that I can wear them to my office job now with a jacket and tie. For about $200, that's a lot of value for me and they've performed just fine every way I've asked them to, but I just don't have the experience, wallet, or opportunity to compare them to much else. Especially compared to any of the Indy type boots. They seemed like the best option I could afford, you know?

Love the trippy music. JCrew makes an Indy knock off, cleverly called the “Kenton Pacer,” (after Indiana Pacers?). Anyway, it’s Goodyear welted and decent quality, though the tongue doesn’t stay in place. They are $298 at full retail, but often on sale for $175-$200. I’d be curious about what’s inside…

Don't underestimate the stress on shoes in classrooms. They probably won't get dirty as quickly, but you have to stand on them all day long. And if they do not give you good support, your feet will hurt like no tomorrow after a short time wearing them. And if the materials are not good, they will wear out pretty quickly. So no, I would not wear these even as a teacher.
