Although leather has been switched numerous times, the Alden boots have
retained their original design since we first saw them in Raiders.
They carry a high end price tag of $195, but remember that these are high end
items and they can take plenty of abuse...my first pair is still in good
condition and I wear them everwhere...
They are not dress boots, so I don't polish them anymore--I found that Pecards
does the trick.

IndyGear is affiliated with The Alden Shop--as they have
been very helpful to fans and are the only place that sells the boots online.

: Now that the subjects of the jacket and hat have been beaten to death (though not permanently, I presume), how about a less controversial subject: the Aldens.

: I bought a pair in the spring of 1999 and recently bought another pair. There seems to be a difference in the leather. The older pair took polish (and abuse) very well. The newer pair has a more rough-finished leather that doesn't hold a shine, but can probably take just as much abuse. I'm not complaining; it's just something else to talk about here. They're fantastic boots that have quickly become my usual footwear for work, since I no longer wear suits everyday. That's why I went with a second pair.

: P.S. I know, what kind of anal-compulsive polishes Indy boots anyway?
