Picked up a pair of alden indy 403 brown cxl from snake oil provisions to match my aero brown cxl HH. First pair of alden shoes/boots. Been wearing mainly RW heritage and Clarks desert boots lately. Before that was on a whites then wesco kick.

I just received a pair of black Toy's McCoy Surveyor boots. I already have a brown pair of natural waxed flesh Vibergs. I think I'm only going to keep one pair and wondering what you guys prefer.

They're mostly going to be worn with Jeans and my green Tenjin jacket

I like both. I am a captoe fan at heart, but I have to admit that I've been lusting after those Surveyor boots for a couple of years now. Just a great classic shape to them, and nice little extras like the rivet. As others have said, keeping both is the best option, but if I had to choose I would take the Surveyors. Now, if the Vibergs were 310 last, then we'd have a real problem on our hands...

Can I ask how the TMC fit, compared to the Vibergs (or other boots)? I've not had a chance to try them on.

Man these are going to look absolutely great after about a year of wear!

@RiceKnight since you’re so rudely going to keep both and not sell me the Surveyors haha. I do have to say they really are a great looking boot. Classic, yet different enough to be completely unique. I really do enjoy them.

Chippewa Service Boots after nearly four years of what I'd pretty much call daily wear. Worn for just about any occasion, from sitting in an office to hiking and mountaineering. Seen two continents. Seriously been through some extreme use & conditions, wore them in both harshest of Canadian winters and near tropical summers but as you can see, they're still holding exceptionally well. Not the fanciest boots out there but I guess it's safe to say they're real quality. If I'd only wear one jacket as much as these...

Really love the look of these broken in boots! Very similar to the RedWings Beckman.

Oh man I gotta get another pair of whites. Are those on the 55 or 4811 last, standard heel, single row stitching, cap toe with celastic? I might just order on their new site the standard 350s

Correct on all accounts and done on a 55 last. I can't wear Red Wings any longer since I've been buying White's and I've been rebuying all my boots in White's. They make Red Wings feel like ballet slippers.

I love the crazy arch support in them. I can wear White's all day with zero discomfort and my feet feel great.

I’ve beaten the crap out of these natural-hide Gustins but everything is structurally sound. Quite a durable pair of kicks.
