With all the sales going on currently and coming up on BF, I've invested in a few pairs of brown suede shoes and I'm not sure which one to keep.

What do you guys think?

1. http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCat...or=BROWN&sort_by=&sectioncolor=&sectionsize=#

They're $1100 and will be 44% off with a mastercard on black friday, taking them down to $616 plus tax.

2. http://www.mrporter.com/product/301476

Down to $625 out the door (no tax for me) in the founders sale.

Also, any idea who makes these shoes for rl???

3. http://www.mrporter.com/product/168508

Down to $825 out the door (no tax for me) in the founders sale.

What does SF think?

Personally, I'm drawn to the color of the RL and EG's more than the JL's.

Thanks guys!

IMHO the RL are not in the same league as the EG or JL. Plus the buckle is off.....


+1. I would stick with either the EG's or the JL's. I also just don't like how those RL shoes look.

For some reason the RL's are growing on me...I just like the gold buckle, as well as the shape and the shade of the brown suede on the shoes.

I haven't received any of them yet.

I believe the Lobb's were shipped out today and I'll be receiving them on Monday, and the EG's I can pick up on Friday.

Normally I would say JL, but I like the EG best. Not a fan of the RL, but that iis personal. Get what YOU like.

suede shoes rule :slayer:

No question, the Lobbs. Without any smidge of hesitation.

And thanks for showing me what I could have got at the Founders sale, in my size still available no less. :fu:

EG all day. Don't like the thick side stitch on the lobbs and the RLs just look odd.

Just curious which BB you are getting the EG's from. Might have to make a stop to pick up a pair on Friday.

Thanks for all the advice!

I've decided on the EG's AND JL's.

I haven't seen either of the shoes IRL as of yet, I decided to just keep both of them for now. Like you all reassured me these are great prices for staple shoes which I hope to enjoy for a long long time to come.

I will share pictures when I receive the shoes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

How are you getting the EG's on sale? All signs point to them being excluded:
