Not the best color combination today....

Disagree. I like burgundy shell with every shade of blue, including the lighter stuff. If you'd thrown a lighter colored pair of laces in there, you'd probably like the color combination a lot more.

Oddly enough she hasn't been particularly supportive of me dressing nicer. Not against it just doesn't see the need (I didn't change jobs or anything just decided I couldn't dress like I was right out of college anymore).

Overall she is ambivalent to my shoes, thinks I pay way too much for them (That's at the $150 seconds/clearance prices). One of the reasons I use Paypal is that it doesn't show up on the CC. Not sure what she'd say about the 3 bills I just paid for my GS Navy Ottawa's; good thing I'm not going to tell her.
If you can’t tell her, it is cheating.

True. I didn’t plan the lower half of my outfit well today....

I love that color and shoe, but I can't wear that style at the weekend job. My next and last damn shoe purchase will be something in shell burgundy (Cambridge, PA, MacNeil).
I have two burgundy shells: these first Ave and Wolverine 721

Mercer street and sea islands have arrived look pretty good.
Quick photos in bad lighting.

The right loafer of the sea islands has a slight wrinkle at the toe but that’s all I can see wrong with it.

I sized down on the Mercer which is what is needed for heel slip but does make them snug. They will stretch I’m sure. I will say they feel like they have adequate vamp room which is very rare for me. I’ll have to have a full day in them before I can make an informed opinon on fit.

It is a bit odd that these are 8.5’s and fit length wise the same as the sea islands in 9.5.

I do really like the olive suede and I think some Hamiltons in this shade would be very nice.

I think Walnut is my second favorite shoe color but then I don’t have rare shell.

Don't know what last this is, but apparently there are some floating around right now. If the link is legit.


Selvedge denim cap-toe could be a fun shoe!

What last is the seventh ave?


Just found it. "The Seventh Avenue is constructed on our 5-Last (65), the same last as our Park Avenue "
