The wingtip thread - Page 7

red line aint nothing to do with me, it was SF'd own Banksy that did that

i know, and guess what?

the asymmetry of the "Wiener Leisten" hardly allows an alignement of the quarters. None of mine and there are twenty from four different makers has that.

c'est la vie

well they make great door stop's

I have posted these in a couple other threads, but this is The Wingtip Thread, so...

Lovely even if the toe is too suarish for my liking...

You can keep the rest but I want these.

By accident, I drove over a pair with my car once and they did not complain.

well they are like the wind, and gone - but i am sure in their new home they are more than happy

i didn't have to...

...because Foster doesn't find it necessary to align the quarters for three grand...



Man, explain it to me...

ssshhh!! dont tell the children!

Could you guys give me your opinion on which of these you think is more versatile? I would like to be able to wear them with jeans and suits:

1. AE Macneil shell cordovan, or

2.

Generally it's always easier to pair with darker colored shoes - so my vote goes for AE.

Thanks for your input. Anyone else have an opinion?

Posted this in SWD but this may be a more appropriate place to ask. I'm looking for a new pair of wingtips. Ideally I'd like to pick up a pair of cigar shell Alden Longwings but in an effort to finish grad school without any loans I have to be a bit more conservative with my spending.

Looking at these options...
Florsheim Imperial Kenmoor Wingtip $225
Tan Pebble Grain

Wine Heritage Calf


Allen-Edmonds Men's MacNeil $325
Walnut Pebble Grain

Burgundy Pebble Grain


Allen-Edmonds McAllister $295
Merlot Burnished Calf

Walnut Calf


I know the darker shades are probably more practical but I love the lighter shades. Are there any other good options out there in a similar price range that I'm missing?
