Four Years With My Alden Indy 403 Boots

  • February 15, 2018
  • By Jesse

I purchased these Alden Indy boots from a local shop just over four years ago and wanted to provide a little update on them. I know your first thought may…

  • What I get for dressing in the dark 😂 . Of course I’m only kidding, I’ve worn these @miyagikogyo for @skomakerdagestad a couple of times now and wanted to get some photos up comparing them side by side with the @edwardgreen1890 Dover. Both are a very similar design, utilizing the pie crust apron stitch and skin stitched toe. . I sized down a half size from my EG pairs and it worked out perfectly. I own the EG 606, 72, and 888 lasts all in UK7.5/8US and moving down to the UK 7 in the Miyagi was the right call for my foot. They are snug but not uncomfortable after a day at work, only had to loosen the lacing a tad around 4pm. They should prove to break in perfectly. I’m a hair over UK7 as my measured size so I’d call them TTS for anyone interested in them. . From a few feet away you’d be hard pressed to not just think the Miyagi was from the same maker but on a different last (the welt stitch gives it away though). They are incredibly well made and I haven’t found a single flaw in them yet. The welt stitching really stood out as being well done, it’s really a work of art how clean and consistent it is 😍 I’m typically pretty good at spotting flaws or QC issues, I noticed right away that on the right foot of my Dover the lace facings are misaligned. . @skomakerdagestad chose a great leather from Annonay for this make up. It’s substantial feeling, tight grained, and a color that is really going to age beautifully. I own two pairs of Dovers and this Miyagi pair really impresses me. What they have done for almost a third of the price is really quite fantastic. . If you’re in the market for a Dover alternative this @miyagikogyo for @skomakerdagestad is really one to consider. I hope they continue to bring out new versions of it, might I suggest a snuff suede pair for spring and a dark brown suede on dainite for next fall 🤘🏻 . . . #miyagikogyo #skomakerdagestad #edwardgreen #rakish #rakishgent #coverbookstyle #dailylast #goodyearwelt #goodyearwelted #classicmenswear #stylishmen #menstailoring #stylishgent #madetobeworn #styleforum #mensshoes #mnswr #shoeshine #shineyourshoes #shoegazing #ptoman #shoegazingblog #shoesoftheday #shoestagram #mensweardaily

  • One of my coolest pick ups from this past summer. #burzanhands @berwick1707_official for @leatherhealer. The suede color is beautiful, so much depth for a darker brown shade. I’ve really found these to be a lot easier to pair than I expected, they are shockingly versatile. .
