chogall, you didn't read my OP carefully
Perhaps. But lets not turn this into another Shoe Appreciation thread #2.

I think the Gucci bit loafer needs to be on the list .
As far as casual contenders : I would nominate the classic Bass Weejun but I can't find it anywhere. I think the Clark's dessert boot should be on the list along with the classic Sperry Top Sider. As far as canvas sneakers the Tretorn and the Jack Purcell.
In keeping with your additions I would add:
Clark's Wallabees
and from a different tradition, the veldtschoen:

jrd, great list.
you think anything from carmina should be on the list? people on the forum love carmina but idk which model could be thought of as iconic
Top 5 would definitely have to be, in no particular order.
1). EG Dover
2). Alden Longwing
3). RL Marlow
4). GG St James
5). AE Park Avenue
They get mentioned over and over again, despite coming from different levels of craftsmanship
Not sure about the final 5, but here are the candidates:
-AE Strand
-AE Mora
-RM Williams chelsea
-Alden flexwelt chukka
-Alden LHS loafer
-Alden Indy
-Corthay Arca
-JL William
-JL Jermyn
-JL Phillip
-EG Shannon
-RLPL Mackay
-RLPL Grant
-Vass U-Last austerity
-C&J Weymouth
-C&J Belgrave
-Bass Weejun
-JM Weston loafer
I didn't put the Gucci loafer on the list because I have seen many people say it's tacky.
Alden Cordovan Long Wing Blucher - the "one shoe", and in cordovan
Allen Edmond Park Avenue - probably the #1 most recommended shoes
Allen Edmond Strand in Walnut - probably the #2 most recommended shoes
Edward Green Dover - the Norwegian split toe
Edward Green Galway - the country boots
Edward Green Shannon - the balmoral boots
John Lobb William - the double monk
John Lobb Phillips II - the ultimate dress shoes
Gaziano & Girling St James II - what made G&G G&G
Crockett & Jones Belgrave - the Plal bang-for-the-buck shoes that's the ticket to shoe discussions before Carmina
Ralph Lauren Marlow cordovan wintip by C&J
Those are quite simply...
Do they ever go on sale in people's experience?
