Cambridge on a wet morning.

I like the Sand suede for a loafer, but unfortunately I can’t get a decent fit in either the Randolph or the Grayson in my normal size.

FWIW, going down a width to 13A works great for me on the Grayson. Can't say I've ever tried on a Randolph (in any size) though.

Uhh are you sure? Fukin brown elastic on navy Liverpool?

As a person that detests wearing the color black, and only owns a single pair of black shoes for wearing to funerals, brown elastic sounds great for a navy suede Liverpool.

Put these on before I knew about the suede TS.

I really agree here. Suede is not formal and will likely be worn with browns and denim; however, I think black elastic will with much better with grey pants

Structural issue—shouldn’t even be a second

How so?

Also, how is the 1757 last supposed to fit?

 

[Kevin24]

That would drive me nuts, seeing that indent, couldn't keep them. How do they fit? can you feel the indent? Does it go away when a tree, or foot, is inserted?

They fit snuggly. Is that how they are supposed to feel??

No JR, no unlined suede, and brown elastic on any colors of Liverpool makes it very easy for me to hard pass this suede trunk show

Positive. I'm very sorry that you feel that way, maybe next time.

I know it's no Chelsea, but Navy works with Brown detailing. We've done it several times before, but this suede Acheson comes to mind:

Where did you get those? PM me and we will work on this together. Those look defective.

the indent looks like a broken counter, which is a material placed in toe to make it hard. Fixing is $$$ . 1757 fits large in toe

I spent a good bit of time google searching different combos of suede. This would be my first ever suede purchase, actually. I have some questions. I guess the primary question I have is, is suede better as a casual shoe or can it work as a dress shoe or is it like everything else and just depends on the style and color?

 

[jet-stream]

Deets on the pants? Don't normally see fabric patterns like that!

Bonobos yarn dye. I have a couple pairs and love them.

Is your Strand really the same color as that being offered in the TS as "loden"?
That label "loden" has been used in the past for a gray-green suede which was nearly indistinguishable from the "dark taupe," like shoenut is wearing above^

The "Loden" Hamilton shown in Ashley's photo looks more like a forest or hunter green, to my eye.
