Picked this link up and thought I'd share it with everyone here. The price for these is a little bit to high for my tastes, but.......I think they look really good and if I get the money I'd like to get some.  I've also heard that these will be offered through the regular Red Wings stores this fall. They will be called "Classic". Here's the link. www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod88346301&catId=cat210082 |

NICE FIND, PH!!!  They sure do look nice and very Indy-ish, but they're too rich for my blood. I've been totally spoiled by my $20 Carolina Huskers! ;D I do like the heavy sole / tread these have, and they look like they'd make a good winter season boot, but if I'm gonna spend over $150, it'll be for a pair of Aldens.  Thanks for posting these, though! If they ever go on sale, I might just consider 'em for the wet and slippery winters we get around here. -GCR |

Well, I can't take credit for the find.....I just borrowed the link from "The other site". ;D I just love saying that.....it makes it sound very mysterious doesn't it......(Ghostly voice) "He's goooone to the OTHER SITE....Muwaaah!" ;D
I missed out on the other boots and I think if certain things go my way I'm going to get a pair.....screw the price. I know I've been a cheap in the past but if I wait for a sale on them I might miss them. I've actually never been to fond of the Alden's "look" anyway....even though I know they are Indy's boots I would still like to wear something that was "close-enough" yet still looked modern.

They look just like an orange version of the famous J Crew Duxbury Ruggeds.

Brown huh? So they are just selling the Duxbury Ruggeds again with a new name and higher price.  Never fear... big sale prices WILL happen for these too. Ken |

After looking more closely at them, I would say the leather itself is more like the recent remakes of the Ruggeds they had for sale. It doesn't have the same baseball glove, oiled look to it. The nose of the Ruggeds doesn't turn up like that either. But, other than that, the design is very, very much the same.
