you are also a barney fan?

You're not crazy. It was a sort of shocked wow, "Wow that bear's coming at us awfully fast", "Wow that's a huge tidal wave", "Wow those shoes are really freaking blue"

Really blue! I saw them at Nick´s blog and thought that the color of the leather is nice but the suede is to light in color for my taste.

A big kudos to the guy who have the guts to get a G&G MTO like that :slayer:

I like the midnight blue section, the royal blue part not so much. Is there any way to mix midnight blue with any suede and look correct? Somehow the sleekness and the medallion seem to contradict the suede. I might have to abandon the idea of mixing the calf and suede for this model...

The Wigmore all in Midnight blue would be my choice now I've seen these. Would be stunning. A good combination would be Midnight with dark brown pin grain tops.

Then again. It's difficult to beat this one...

I've never seen you post a pair of shoes both here or on Bespoke England that I didn't think was absolutely stunning but I'm not really sure how the blue would work with a brown shaft (Perhaps outstandingly), I'm having trouble visualising it so that might just be the issue.

I of course insist that you prove me wrong!

To be honest I don't think I'd want a Wigmore in any other colour or combination than the one you posted above - it might just be the best looking RTW/MTO boot one can buy anywhere.

Nice. The only improvemement would be a mole suede shaft!
