Alden
Indy Boot
Ealdwine Raleigh
I was very intrigued by all of the gossip about Alden. Then of course, I saw Rose Anvil’s YT channel and while I don’t disagree with his opinions on the value, for me, these are fantastic and worth the price. Even though I feel they are overpriced, I still find value in them. But, once I decided to go dive down the Alden Indy rabbit hole, I wanted to get kind of the flagship version of it. Up to that point, I had Red Wing, Truman, Whites and Grant Stone boots. All amazing boots for sure. But I didn’t size right on them and they all left me wanting and hoping there was more to this world than my experience so far. After a lot more research, actual measuring of my feet, and most importantly, Ealdwine Raleigh having the very color and leather I was after in stock, it was a bang-bang transaction. I can’t say enough great things about the service they provided and the confidence I felt dropping $900+ with them. And I have enjoyed every lace-up, every brushing and every time I get to look at them. The only part I’m not a fan of is taking them off my feet. That’s because I don’t know when the next time will be that I have a chance to wear them again.
Extensive research and measuring my feet.
I purchased them online, but reached out directly to the shop and I have never had a better experience making a purchase. Truly too notch service.
