: to illustrate what I was trying to say (it has become more clear to me). One of the main things I was trying to say was that it doesn't pay to get riled up with your fellow fan, especially when everything on the forum is so subjective. An opinion shouldn't be taken personally. For the most part this forum is pure fun, but on occasion I have allowed myself to be bothered by a discussion (argument) for really no good reason. We can't all be right about everything (and no one's opinion is wrong), plus we can all be enlightened at some point. Cheers

: : ...but at least I feel I have more control regarding my gear than having much impact on the items you suggest. (grins) Regards. Michaelson

: : : To those that are dismayed at the breakdown of where your
: : : dollar goes when you purchase Indy gear, I would suggest
: : : putting your anger and disgust into something more worthwhile,
: : : like writing your congressman or president about the problems
: : : of the world like the environment or overpopulation. The
: : : greenhouse effect has already started melting the polar icecaps.
: : : There is flooding in the Aleutian islands. This is no longer
: : : conjecture, it's fact. I feel like a bit of a crackpot for stating this on
: : : the fan forum. The point I'm trying to make is that Indy gear is
: : : supposed to be fun, and I think that anger should be saved for
: : : more worthwhile endeavors. Back to the Aldens. If you could
: : : actually pick up and examine an Alden, you would see that it is a
: : : shoe of extremely high quality, one for all intensive purposes that
: : : will last a lifetime if properly cared for. These aren't a pair of $100
: : : Nikes that are going to be done in a year. This being said, I
: : : would say that they are worth what you pay for them. If someone
: : : can't swing the price of them, than that's understandable. They're
: : : not cheap. I would however warn you that you should choose
: : : your footwear wisely. Searching for a pair of alternatives might
: : : take you on a road of costly disappointment. In general, Indy gear
: : : is expensive. Most of it is rare. You can't buy it all over the place.
: : : The other thing about Indy gear is that it is of high quality. High
: : : quality items cost more than average items, but are much more
: : : rugged and durable. Sometimes it pays to get the higher cost
: : : items because they will last longer, which make them a better
: : : value for the money. In some cases I started out buying cheaper
: : : gear and eventually had to re buy many items. It would have
: : : been cheaper to just buy the good stuff to begin with. I hope this
: : : wasn't too preachy and that I made a few points somewhere in
: : : this mess of a post. Cheers
