Style #404 is Alden's more rugged, heavy duty alternative to the classic #403 Indy Boot. The major differences are the #404 features dark brown Kudu leather, tonal stitching and full lug sole. The Kudu leather has a high oil and wax content requiring little maintenance while being very weather resistant. The outsole has an aggressive tread pattern intended for more intense work activity. The #404 is like the classic Indy boot in all other features including the True Balance last, classic top stitch detail, supple full glove leather lining, vegetable tanned leather insoles, and speed hooks. This is Alden's most heavy duty work boot and not for the faint of heart - it is made to work for the individual.
