A couple of casual boots.

Both listed by same seller. First is Santoni Fatte a Mano: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....74&rd=1 Look well constructed, nice finish & color, but combi leather & crepe sole is a little strange. For casual purposes might be fine w/ perhaps added value in bad weather situations. Other pair is C&J for Baldesserini, seem to be a variation on coniston, again with crepe soles, instead of dainite. Sole is not as funky looking as Santoni's: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....43&rd=1 Feedback on either pair re. styling, quality, value? The C&J's seem a bit pricy, or at least not deeply discounted, since P.Lal offers them for about $340.

I know some members will be quick to disagree with me, but I strongly dislike the C&J one.  The laces and the cap-toe is not a great look unless you are wearing it with a suit.

I think the C&J works especially since it's in a pebbled leather, which gives a more casual look.
