Thoughts on these?Originally Posted by jb_1977
I'm not a fan of shoes that mix pebble and smooth grain leathers like that. Makes the shoe seem neither fish nor fowl, IMO. I suppose saddle shoes might be an exception, if done right. But those black ones aren't particularly attractive in my book.

Thanks. I think I'm ok with the leather/grain combination (it's deer and calf, btw).
Any opinion on the shape/last or construction?

The pattern and last are nice. I'd wear them if they were all smooth leather.
Here is a pair of smooth/grain shoes that I do like, not that it's relevant to your pair:

Not that it should mean anything to anyone but I find jb_1977's monks to be more attractive than those.

Are those black ones Magnanni? Im not a fan of the mixed leathers too, but the last looks nice.
The ones from Leather Soul up there are a Russia Calf saddle.
