Alden Shoes – The Vintage Indy

Indiana Jones Fanatics are constantly trying to achieve “screen accurate” gear. We believe we are pretty close to acheiving that (along with a few major improvements as well) with our new Leather Soul Exclusive Vintage Indy Boots.

A follow up, or shall we say, Sequel, to our ever popular Ultimate Indys, these Vintage Indys are built with the same upgraded features such as Full Leather Linings, Higher Grade Leather (Vintage Oiled Nubuck), and a Leather and Commando Sole. We also chose an All Around Reverse Welt for a “cleaner” rugged look.

Alden Shoes – Flex Monk Strap

Riding the subways of Tokyo you’ll notice (as well as in any big city around the world) a lot of chunky, square toed, rubber soled shoes worn by businessmen on their way to work. It’s a tragic sight, but one all too familiar for those who appreciate finer footwear.

Those very unattractive shoes were the inspiration for our new Flex Monk Straps. Built on the Plaza Last, with an Oiled Leather Sole (great for rainy days), Alden’s Flex Welt Construction, in a buttery Soft Black Calf, these “Salary Man Shoes” are “everday comfortable” and will take the place of those chunky-monkey shoes in a perfect world.

Edward Green – A Couple New Classics

We consider the Edward Green Dover in Dark Oak Antique, on the 606 Last to be one of “the Classics.”

A new classic has to be the same Dover on the 606 Last in Edwardian Antique, a wonderful casual color to add to your collection.

Dover, 606 Last, Edwardian Antique
$1100.00

The Cadogan is also one of Edward Green’s classic dress shoes. Our most recent take adds a little flair: Bauxite Antique with a light antique edgetrim on the 82 Last.

Edward Green – Farringdon

A new model for us by Edward Green, the Farringdon is an elegant take on a typically casual blucher, or derby.

Built on the exquisite 888 last with a single leather sole, this highly antiqued chestnut blucher is simply stunning.

Alden Shoes – The Hawaiian Stomper

To come up with the design for our newest Leather Soul Exclusive, “Hawaiian Stomper,” we started with our Ultimate Indy Boot and decided to make a low cut version of it. Instead of brown aniline calf, we chose a more rugged oiled dark brown kudu. A chunky double leather sole, reverse welt, and flat waxed laces round out the design.

Pair these Hawaiian Stompers with your Japanese denim or tweed slacks, they’ll look great either way.

Whether it’s the hard pavement of New York City or the sandy beaches of Waikiki, these shoes were made for a stompin.

Alden Shoes – Plaza Cap Toe Dress Boot

The perfect choice for versitility, our Plaza Cap Toe Dress Boot will go great with a suit or a pair of jeans.

Blind eyelets, a close heel regular welt, and a double leather sole perfectly come together to create this striking boot. Burgundy Color #8 Shell Cordovan works in harmony with this design. Others have offered something similar, but not exactly the same.
