Yes. There should be a law against posting shoes without deets.

Hampton, Tods once again only in a different color?
Clark, great shoe for autumn/winter days without a lot of salt out on the streets.
How many of those do you have up north in Sweden?
Do they run a regular or narrow width?

biggrin.gif. It is not actually too bad where I live, and they only salt the highways, but of course grainy leather is better for an all-round winter shoe but I already have plenty of these.

I haven't worn them much, but my initial thought when trying them on is that they run slightly big and wider than they look. They are an F fit, which is regular.

BTW, I got them at a great price at Pediwear; I'm a Loake member there (become one when I bought a couple of Loake shoes 5 years ago), so I got £25 discount, plus free shoe trees and a free tie. All for £162 shipped.

I'm still on the prowl for some suede kicks. Here's the deal, I work in a fairly formal office so I could only get some Friday usage out of suede from time to time. With a couple of 2yo's running around the house, my wife and I don't go out too often. So my ability to wear them is limited. Therefore, I don't want to spend much. Really $200 is all I care to do.

I found the Florsheim Haviland, which I thought was interesting because it had a longwing style. However, when I received them I found the shoes to be pretty clunky. I am a slim guy, and at first review they look wrong with all of my pants - dress, chino, or jeans. Sort of like I am wearing my own pants but a bigger person's shoes.

So now I'm back to square one. I know this may be hard given that people on SF don't typically dip to the sub $200 price point (or sub $300 or $400 or $800 smile.gif) but if anyone has ideas of a slimmer lasted shoe I am all ears. The answer might be nothing, which is fine. This is a "nice to have" instead of "must have" purchase. thanks in advance.

Edit: I am also talking about a dress shoe model, not chukka.

The gold standard for sleek seems to be Carmina x The Armory suede shoes on the Simpson last, is that what you are thinking of as slim? In the lower price range, there are some reasonable options. My suggestions are the semi-sleek Loake Aldwych in suede (pictured, order from here) or one of the four kinds of Meermins.

Bexley has some cheapish suede shoes if you can find a model you like.
