Keep forgetting to take pictures while wearing them, but back with my grandparents in Taiwan for Lunar New Year! Took these boots to several cities, a few trains, and a few mopeds.

More about this item

Chose vintage to raise awareness on export waste. Made in Canada, Vintage Police Boots. Size markings are weird 6B but the eBay seller says she found out it's supposed to be 10B. According to the seller, sizing is best determined by the numbers following a 7 or 6B and then a quick comparison to outsole lengths of previous footwear (to check that you are at least in range). I followed her instructions and it worked great. I still ask for outsole measurements just in case 6B is actually 10D. Update: Alden SF staff told me that they believe this was made by either Dack's or Hartt of Canada. The leather is supposedly close to AE's polished cobbler.
