Is cordovan all that? - Page 18

Like was stated, Strand is a better model, either in brown or in their new walnut. Cambridge has a weird balance in my eyes. Macneil is a classic too. Pass on the Leeds.

Mine are hands down my favorite pair of shoes. They fit incredibly well, were finished beautifully and have been quite durable. The color is great.

The shoe is dressier; I would wear mine to anything short of a black tie event, and frankly a nighttime black tie event, the shoes will look black anyway.

I think they are great shoes - It is one of the AE cordovans that I don't have (the others are the Westchester and Kenwood), and I really want to remedy that.  Ideally, I think I'd like both Black and #8, but I think I will do #8 first.  The design would be appropriate for most any suit (in my opinion).  I also like that the Cambridge has a double-oak sole, as compared to the Strand, which has only a single-oak sole.  Single-oak soles look weird on larger shoes IMO (I'm a 12D).

These is the only monk strap design which I have seen that seems both respectable and elegant enough to actually purchase. Who makes them?

I want the weschesters in cordovan, but I need an 11B in loafers and it's still painful to break them in. I don't think I could even get 11B cordovan loafers and it would probably be even more painful.
