I kind of like these shoes. Am I losing my mind?

+1....although the idea of calfskin / pony combo could make for an interesting spectator.

They are interesting as objects, but what occasion would you find to wear them?
They are black, which makes them a bit more "night time" in my mind (they certainly ain't business shoes). They are double monks with broguing, which makes them kind of casual.
I think that they would pimp out a going out type outfit, but they are almost too stuffy for that.
I think that you could (maybe) build a whole look around those shoes, but I think that you'd wear them four times a year, tops.

BUY THEM...wear them to a bar with some jeans and have good conversations with woman! If they like em or hate em it will be a good conversation piece. Most of the woman I dated prior to getting married would always tell me they look at a man's shoes first. I think you could have some fun with those!

When they are looking down, they just want you to think they are looking at your shoes.

I have a pair of hairy black loafers (I always thought they were cow with thw hair left on), but these may be too busy-looking, what with the two-tone effect, the buckles and the brogue pattern.
Apart from that, black labs will give you suspicious looks.
