Of all the shoes you have posted, I think I like these the most!

Inspired by Uncle Mac--AE cappuccino shell Dundees + toasty alpaca argyles




And these are very nice as well! I have a thing for chukkas i guess. The alpaca socks look really nice as well. May I ask how they feel and who makes them?

There is a lot of useful information on shoe care and polishing in this thread:

Thank you, I will check it. I have a way to clean them, but I haven't achieved a shining like that.

Dat brand of shoes is not liked or endorsed here; however, with a little elbow grease they take a very good shine.   I wish they had a higher instep, though :cry:


Just curious what brand are they if they are not endorsed on SF?

It's becuase of SF doesn't like black?

That's no secret... they are Church's.
Very good shoes IMHO, not that refined like other brands loved and nurtured around here.
All my Church's are calf, not corrected grain and they take a pretty good shine.
And black is a matter of personal choice; I like black shoes.

Oh okay, I agree with you black, at the very least, is not as bad as people make it out to be here. It seems black suits, black shoes, black coats, black pants, black socks are all anti SF lol. But I think some black in one's rotation is just fine. I am still not a fan of any other black stuff but black shoes are good if you have a decent amount of other shoe colors. That way it definitely won't be boring. Just my opinion though.
