The Alden 405, the original Alden Indy Boot, features brown cowhide leather and neoprene cork outsoles. Alden's authentic work boot is famous for its career in film and appreciated today for its timeless design. Beyond the Alden Indy 405, we offer an outstanding collection of Alden loafers and Alden Oxfords, as well as Alden accessories.
Our Alden 405 Indy Boots feature robust Horween leathers and incredible all-day comfort. With supple full glove leather and vegetable-tanned leather insoles, they're unsurpassed for breathable, long wear. Over time, the Alden 405 Boots assume the contours of your foot shape, creating a truly custom quality to the fit.
Beneath the insole is a layer of cork, providing additional resilience and insulation.

The shank provides the necessary support and shape required to provide comfort throughout the day.
