: I'm a bit of a shoe guy myself, and the Aldens were the first piece of Indy gear I purchased. Followed shortly by a Herbert Johnson.

: Stacey Adams is a brand of footwear for the "urban contemporary male", much like FUBU is a brand of clothing for same. I've seen Stacey Adams shoes in stores and they appear to be made of a cheaper quality leather that looks like vinyl. But I hope they are everything you hope they would be. Good luck.

: : I went with their product description, which stated the width, but you're right, they do look like they would be narrower. I'll be interested in what you think when yours arrive. Regards. Michaelson

: : : Actually judging from the pictures, they do look like they were made on a narrower last (I'm a bit of a shoe freak). I've just ordered them, so I'll let you know. Incidentally, the Alden's were my first piece of Indy gear. That's probably quite unorthadox for most.

: : : : Very nice looking shoes. The only problem I'd see is they're limited to D and wider widths. I couldn't wear them, and I'm sure a lot of folks couldn't either. Regards. Michaelson

: : : : : Stacey Adams makes a boot called the Madison in Kid Skin. They have lots of colors to boot (no pun intended) and they're around 100 bucks. Now they don't have a Neoprene/Cork soles nor the mock toe of the Aldens, but, they do seem to have a nice retro Indyish look to them and a goodyear welt that sticks out.
