Sinclair boot in Ruby would be nice but I have my heart set on that wingtip. I'm about to sell some more Aldens to fund this new Carmina addiction.


I'm with you in the wingtip. Looking forward to it

I'm actually pretty bummed about the ruby wholecut. I would love a shoe in ruby, and I've been dying for a nice wholecut, but I just can't stand the look of the wingtip on the wholecut.

Oh well, you can't please everyone!

I don't like the wholecut wingtip. I like the one NAMOR posted. As much as I like the color of Ruby I couldn't be down with that wingtip wholecut. I would like a plain wholecut in either saddle of cognac shell.

I think the ruby just looks great as a wingtip. perhaps it could even be an austerity wingtip

I agree that a ruby wingtip would look nice, I just think that the brogue look clashes with the wholecut.

I'd be happy with that one as is or the 3rd shoe from the left in Ruby. What about Epaulet's Fitzgerald in Ruby?

I would rock a ruby shell chukka with a chunky antique double sole and storm welt.

Wingtips are so ubiquitous I don't understand why everyone wants one in a MTO. *shrug*

Love the ruby wingtip second from the left! I like the wingtip 3rd from the left if it did not have the toe design.[/quote]

I remember seeing that ruby shell wingtip here before. I would like it more if it were on the rain last.
