I guess the only questions I'd have would be about that base you spoke of. Aldens have a steel shank, and the foot bed is not cork but Neopren. Aldens 100% American made. Not sure about this boot, though, but it must have something going for it at a price equal to the 405. Regards. Michaelson

: True, but if you have Aldens and want something else (good example, me: have Wested Raiders and US Wings TOD-style), then they are worth a look.

: And they are semi orthopedic (as Aldens really are) with a cork footbed.

: I think it's foolish to order Aldens without a proper fitting (or any orthopedic shoe, for that matter) as you defeat the primary design goal.

: I have to believe they were selected for the orthopedic quality as the talent (Ford) would be standing around in them all day in weird locales.

: You shouldn't value your own feet any less!!!!

: These might be a better choice for the mail order person who doesn't want to rely on luck for proper fit...

: Anyway, I just was/am sharing a link; not endorsing or de-dorsing ;-)

: I'll likely buy a pair anyway -- the style appeals to me and as a daily by-foot commuter, wear boots a lot.
