What Milosh said. Punchcap oxford first. Those Vass are beauties.

I can't imagine only having one pair of dark brown shoes though, so one should also have a derby.

I believe it was Doc that said that the RLPL McKay (EG Asquith) in Dk. Oak on the 888 is perhaps the perfect (brown) shoe: http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8062/12020801pr.jpg

Fritzl's Hungarian shoes refined a bit by Marini in Rome.
I prefer three or four eyelets

St Crispin's are bit pointy ( and pricey) for my taste but with a slightly rounder toe
I'd go for them.

Great suggestions so far, guys. Thanks. Pls keep them coming. I'm leaning toward the punched cap oxford or a plain cap oxford. But Teddie's suggestion of a derby, combined w/ woolymammoth's pics, have me looking that way.

What are your ideas for the two pairs?

Ya, that's not good.

+1 on the Asquith. A very close second is the EG Dover in dark oak on the 606 last.
