But I'm thinking maybe less white is more.

I feel that maybe this looks less "golfy"

Any thoughts are appreciated:


 

I like these better, white is just hard for me to consider in a dressier shoe

Just wore my Neumoras the first time and both shoes squeak up a storm.  What the hell...

Very nice.
I wouldn't personally have gotten that color but other than that you're golden.

hhaa ya probably right, but considering i have walnut, bourbon, and cordovan brown for the strand, a 4th pair doesn't make that much sense.  Having them for the sake of the rarity would be nice, but there is nothing i can't get away with having the walnut calf compared to the cordovan

Another pair will come along at some point

In Bloomberg Businessweek January 21-27th 2013

Not trying to start a political argument. Just thought it would be interesting for people.

So I sold off my last pair of burgundy shell Mac Neils because they never fit right.  Saved up and bought a pair of firsts.  The new finish is WAY darker than it used to be, but I like it.  Here are the shoes:

Compared to an older pair of burgundy shell Leeds, they look like they're a whole different color of shell:

So besides my shell Mac Neils that came in today, I have a pair of BB walnut strands and orange and white Neumoks on the way.  Wife also said something about ordering me another pair of custom Neumoks... I think she's a keeper.

Oooh nice. How did you score the Leno tickets? (Only part that really interested me)
Just caught a Craig Ferguson show. The man is a genius.

They are Wolverine 1000 mile shell cordovan 744 LTD edition (2nds).  Made by AE.  I believe they only make 1,000 per year.  These obviously didn't pass QC due to the tear on the tongue.
