Those're the exact same boots that I bought about a year ago, although the leather in the picture looks more "suedey" than mine. Mine are more of a smoother chocolate brown, however the scuffs and worn spots look similar. After I bought them I immediately posted a message stating how much I thought they resembled an "Indy look". Nobody seemed to agree. They certainly do have the shape and overall look of the original(I think they even have a steel shank too). Plus the waterproof feature is great. They're really pretty tough and the scuffs only make 'em look cooler. The only thing that's a drawback is the sole. To me it's a tad slippery in the winter(at least here in MN). But then again every shoe is slippery in a MN winter.

I recommend these for anyone who doesn't want the old-fashioned look of the Aldens. These retain the Indy look but still fit in with contemporary fashion. Plus they don't look like "clown shoes", as the Aldens do. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfect.
