The Broadway Boot uses, in SOP’s words, a ‘luxe mahogany’ oiled leather that should develop a deep patina. Tonal stitching, natural welt (recraftable as always), brass eyelets, and four speedhooks outfit the boots. And, burly as they might seem, the Alden’s wedge sole takes some oz.’s off the scale. The boot is also on Alden’s widest Trubalance last (the same they use on the popular Indy) so you should consider sizing down.
