Hey so I noticed you're still having a bit of trouble deciding on your Brown shoe, and was in Henry Bucks today so took a few pics. I will take back what I said about the Loake Aldwych Brown being 'horrible', it is actually ok for the price (the pair was a bit creased up), and you might actually be quite happy with the shade of Brown. The Aldwych in store was the same shade as the Churchill, and both were a decent mid-conservative brown, with the cap burnished slightly darker. The other pair are a choc brown.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I also thought if you need a 2nd pair of affordable shoes, and considered putting off the brown for another black pair, have a look at the Cheaney Fenchurch quarter brogues (http://www.cheaney.co.uk/index.php ). They are surprisingly cheap, free shipping, and the 11028 last is really nice. Just a thought

It's actually faux horn. But I can't complain for the price. Anyone want to hazard a guess?

*Ok, no one wants to play my game. Shucks - It's 36 bucks. lol. Just wanted to try it, and I am very very surprised by the quality for the price point.

At first I was expecting it to be shite, but it actually turned out pretty good, actually. I ordered 2 for 80 bucks, or thereabouts.
Bargain buy of the year for me. Might try one of their cashmere cables...

I ordered small, and it was generous. Still ok for fit. I'm 168 cm (short and small). Generally I go for 36 - 38 UK sizing. I'm sure Gerry or you could try small for one, and then reorder if too small.
