I am contemplating an all dark oak pair, versus the pebble grain/dark oak that I have.


nephew,

I know the Dover is meant to be a more casual shoe but I would wear an all dark oak pair with suits as well - pretty versatile.


I have the dark oak Dover, and while I have not worn them with a suit, they could quite easily be so worn.

To clarify, I am not saying I wouldn't do it, just that I haven't as of yet. I have a few other dark oak models that i have worn with suits - a captoe bal and a captoe blucher.
