More about this item

Love this pair. Easy to dome, since it became my favorite, most comfortable pair of shoes. Had these made bc I can’t afford Alden’s. And tbh I don’t think I’ll ever pony up for Alden’s after my experience with blkbrd.

Why I own this

Love Alden Indy boot, but can’t afford them. I have another pair of blkbrds and they offered a crazy good deal for some boots. Free shipping +half off a future pair if f you complete the dome. The customer service was excellent as I initially placed the order for the wrong size. They fixed it and had the custom boots to me in no time.

How I sized

Foot Tracing

Back and forth with the customer service team. I have another pair on the same last which fit me very well.

I love how the leather has held up. Easy break in. Love the dressier leather on the rugged boot. Occasional brushing and only conditioned it once.

Craftsmanship

Happy with the construction. No cosmetic flaws I noticed about.

Sole & heel

Soles are great. Good traction walked in wet/ice/ and snow. Comfy underfoot.
