Indiana Jones Boots

[gmh1013]

I was looking into getting a pair of the Alden Boots online but I hope that somebody here might have bought a pair or own some now?
At 500 bucks I would hope they last longer than Red Wings....

They last....I'm not sure about the Indy boot....but their other shoes can be re-soled, etc. @ their factory. I have a pair of their penny loafers I got in 2001......I sent then back to their factory in 2009 to get re-soled/spruced up.....good for another decade.
I think of them as Rolex for your feet.........but their models have different lasts,
some run a size or half-size bigger, make sure you find out how their different lasts
run.

I'm looking at some boots like that myself. Wolverine 1,000 mile boot are supposedly of exceptional quality. Would love to know what others here think and if anyone has owned a pair.

The Addison in tan are sharp. I've never had a pair of Wolverine but I'm looking now!

I own the Alden boots, and they are tops. Head and shoulders about typical mass produced stuff.

The wolverine 1000 mile boot is great. I own three pair rugged yet stylish.

Red Wing boots are really good and you can have them re-soled and conditioned as well!!!
