I hope one of you experts can help me on this, I saw a great looking pair of shoes while perusing a website -- is anyone able to identify the shoes the gentlemen is wearing in the attached pictures?  Any help would be appreciated (i.e., maker, style, color, etc).  Thanks!

Do you think the color is walnut or something else?  Seems much darker to me than a walnut.  Perhaps it is just the lighting, or is there some kind of treatment that would darken the color?

 

A newb on these forums, so thanks for taking the time to respond - much appreciated!

Well it could be shoes from another manufacturer altogether and probably is.
The Fifth Avenue would be close enough as a match. In sunlight a walnut finish will appear lighter ofcourse than in shade.
The shoes in the photo could also be a Cognac finish. If this colour appeals to you I am sure either finish would make you happy.
As far as treating a shoe to darken it, there are different methods. Time = patina, or darkening in places. Creative polishing can darken a shoe and also, to the more extreme, dyes can be professionally applied.
Hope this helps and welcome to Styleforum.
