Depends on how much you are willing to pay. The leather/dovetail combo will surely cost you more than the all rubber. You will also need to specify to the cobbler. If you are really particular you can also specify a JR dovetail heel replacement which is even more.

Two PSAs:

If anyone is interested in size 9D truffle / cappuccino shell cordovan McAllisters, there is a pair there.  

Also, they had these shoes, made by AE for Wolverine.  All size 8D.  $159 I think.

Custom Shell Saddle Shoe update: 

I heard back from my contact(s) at AE and they agreed to do the custom shell saddle shoe for no additional charge over the regular shell shoe price, plus they'll throw in a pair of free shoe trees and free shipping.  This was assuming we could do 10 of these custom shell shoes.  It was unclear to me whether we all need to order the same exact shoe, or just reference some "deal code" to get the aforementioned pricing.  I will find that out.  

My initial thought is a traditional shell saddle shoe, with burgundy vamp and quarters, black shell "saddle" and "foxing," regular welt (not split/reverse), double-leather sole, and probably black sole edge.  J.R. soles (same as all other shell shoes).  
Like this: 






#2: a walnut shell vamp and quarters, burgundy shell (or maybe brown shell?) "saddle" and "foxing," regular welt, double-leather JR sole, and "natural" sole edge.  (this is all assuming availability of the walnut or some other lighter-color brown shell).  
Like this: 


 
 






#3: dark brown shell vamp and quarters, walnut "saddle" and "foxing", regular welt, natural sole edge, double-leather JR sole.  (again, assuming availability of walnut or some other lighter color shell)


  




Thoughts?  Also, I'd like to know who's in, so we can let them know a minimum of X will be ordered...

In case you couldn't tell, I prefer boots to shoes.  If they ever offer the Daltons in Black, Merlot or two-tone calf, I'm screwed.
