I would have some pairs to show if the company had not been so completely assholish in their communications with me when I tried to get some information and order some shoes.

Mine pictured are actual Sargent-branded, Bloomsbury model. I too thought they were the same as the BB model but I see now that BB has 5 eyelets and not 6. But the other details sound similar: channeled sole, nearly double-leather thickness (may well be double leather).

these look very similar.


forex, those appear to be the black version of the brown ones I picked up from BB. My brown ones were incorrectly listed as cap toe bluchers on BB's website. Several members had noticed that the description didn't match the picture; I had to e-mail them to make sure I'd get bals as pictured.

I have one pair of Sargents that I bought from John Rushton in London that are some of my favorite shoes. A dark brown suede with light brown stitching. Simple and elegant. In fact, I may wear them today!

Also, does anyone know where to get Sargent shoes that are UK D (narrow) widths? I can't seem to find any on Pediwear, Shoes International, etc. If they make them for a certain label I'd be happy to hear which. Thanks for your help.


Thanks! Thats a MTO with fancy sole!
They are good match with my jeans

Always want to get a pair of epic shoe trees but trees in HK are too expensive and no way there will be a discount
