Very nice indeed Saint, what are these if I may ask?

Ah damn, I thought I had written it, but the forum was bugging a bit...
Actually, it's a French brand that manufactures in Portugal.
They're clearly Indy boots, but not Alden. I think there are some Alden retailers in Paris, but they don't have all the models in stock, and ordering from the US, with all the extra costs (shipping, customs, etc.) was bothering me. With the risk of bad fitting.
I saw this model, so I decided to give it a chance.
No regrets, the perceived quality is really good, and after just a morning of wear, they're already very comfortable.

Haven't worn these in a while, jumper boots from ATF. Was thinking of antique them as I did my service shoes but decided to leave them alone and get some more wear on them.

Nice !!! You did well I think . I own 2 "modern" russet Corcoran , one with the Corcoran stamp , not the red one but old fashioned typo , the other has no stamp but C on the heels and the size is indicated in the inside upper leather part the eyelets are not the same . I don't know about the provenance of the on withe no Corco stamp, maybe ATF or WWII Imp . Could you tell me about yours ? the type of marking ? Just to know if mine are from ATF or no .the 2 first pics are the one I want to know were they come from ( Corcoran is the builder but who sells these ? ) the other pics are from the other pair .

It's a sunny day , a taste of spring . So I decided to get my boots off the closet and give them a brush or more if needed . I just forgot the number of pair ... And there is one in restauration plus a possible aquisition ... The ones on the right are all WW2 original minus the one from 1957 Korean war . The ones of the left are repros from Corcoran , BuzzR , SM Wholesale. And I need a bigger closet ... I wish only the same thing will not happen for the jackets ... !!!

Vintage "Foot-so-Port" boots - Did not find much online about that brand. Based on the design and materials, I am assuming they are from the 50s or 60s but I could be wrong
