Fantastic looking shoes. If you've already got the other bases covered, it's an interesting option.

I really honestly tried to like this style of shoe, and considered it for my most recent order from Koji Suzuki. I looked and looked, and finally identified this pair and this pair as being the most appealing. In the end, I realized that I would like them even more if they were actual lace ups, so I didin't pull the trigger. I do like loafers, and hope to have a pair of elegan slipons like the EG Bamford, so my dislike is not due to a general aversion to slip ons.

E.T., skip the bespoke process, and get the pictured shoe from LS, presuming they have your sizeOriginally Posted by Michael Ay329
Its half the price of bespoke, the quality of construction compares favorably to the finest stuff made by G&G, the leather quality is excellent and the fit is fantastic due to the forgiving nature of the side gussetting.
If my latest Clifford Roberts experiment does not meet my expectations, I'm running to LSBH to purchase this shoe in my size.
The shoe looks way nicer in person. The smaller brogueing & punching, coupled with the gorgeous last shape make this the finest RTW shoe every made.
Thanks - its not a bad idea. Though I believe the shoe is available only in black in RTW.

Thinking of ordering a bespoke pair in this configuration - elastic-sides but with faux laces. Kinda liking the look. Any thoughts on this unconventional design?Originally Posted by Eustace Tilley
i'd like more w/out the faux laces.
in fact it has a internal skin stiched seam - a monk is, in that style fairly impossible to do totally seamless - but it is a great shoe!Originally Posted by luk-cha
after seeing the 2010 i must say that i liked it better in the photo...i don't like the lack of stitching on the buckles...
