IRL, the matched (brass) eyelets look pretty subdued. I ordered some J.Crew suede longwings (but returned them as they were the final confirmation that the Barrie last is failure for me), and I really liked the look of them on that shoe.

Keeps it a touch "casual" (which is a funny word for a shoe that 99% of people will see as a essentially a dress shoe).

^ Thanks Mr. C, but I have to opt out. Buying a new bike and it's more of a priority right now!

Yeah, I've reached my shoe-buying quota for the next few months, but I do really like the makeup.

What last are we thinking about here?  I know my Barrie size, but I haven't had much experience with the others.

Sounds like a nice make up but I'll pass.

Sorry guys, would really like to get in on these, but, upon further consideration, I know I've got a number of other shoe lineup spots that need to be filled in first.

On my end, I found one more picture of the mcnairy to show how the contrast can read. again, shell would pop much more than the calf here, but it's a good indication of this make up. I actually think both of the combinations are pretty money.

Wow, has everyone spent their tax refunds already?  On a serious note, how much would be due upfront?  Is this one of those cases in which we can put down $100 and pay the balance on delivery?  Because it seems to me that that gives you 8-12 months to budget for the shoe (sand deposit).

Half seems like a little too much.  I would expect the vendor to ask for a deposit equivalent or slightly higher than the cost basis.  I don't know the mark up on Alden, but I'm guessing 200%.  So on a $500 shoe/boot that would be about $160.  Of course, since we can't order for ourselves, the vendor can ask whatever he wants.
