Help with my next shoe purchase

gyasih · Nov 8, 2011

I have a pair of black C&J Hallams on the way.

I am looking to buy another pair of shoes, any thoughts on the following four pair? They will be worn to work, the environment is not very conservative. I need the most versatile pair.

Get more suede, yuo can never have enough. And in terms of versatility I find it more versatile than anything calf.

I find this very true. After acquiring my first pair (since 5th grade

) last month, I am beginning to gravitate towards purchasing a few more pairs .

How about some suede C&J Harvards?
They look versatile and comfortable.
Suede loafers have a certain casual elegance about them, as well.

How important is full vs half canvas to you for heavier sport jackets?
