I think that's the first time I've ever seen a black Walton on here. I have a dark brown pair and it's a great shoe. I saw a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio wearing one some years back.

If we’re doing a webgm I hope I can order some Daltons in Navy Calf, or maybe even Navy Shell if I got the money for it.

1A today. But if I had my choice between football grain and a PA sneaker, it would be the sneaker.

Walton in 13D...my first pair of AE about 15 months ago when it was trial and error with regards sizing and me based in Singapore.
Now I am 13EEE in most AE lasts but can make this pair work due to the wider 73 last. 12 hours straight...no problemo! Still my only black formal shoes. Don't need a black PA !!
Polka dot socks never go out of fashion too

- Up to $150 off current Q1 product!
- 30% off bags and apparel!

Shop early to avoid missing out on limited stock!

Are these the 4100 Snuff Brown strandmoks? In natural light they appear a lot lighter than the stock pics. I have two of the brown suede strands and dyed one more chocolate. I almost ordered this new snuff brown one as the stock pics look darker than mine. I really regret not getting in on the suede TS especially for dark brown.

Gentlemen, it's 2020 so take your outdated style guides and throw them out the window. Remember, we now have a Park Avenue sneaker. I consider myself a conservative "formal/business" dresser having grown up and spent most of my life in NYC/Manhattan but even I have no issue with a black dress-like blucher when worn with a suit. It is not appropriate with a Tux but otherwise fine for business attire (but I have never worked on wall street or in a law firm). Most Oxfords do not work for me so I had to find a black dress shoe that did.

My personal black dress shoe is the Alden Straight Tip Blucher 971 Black Calfskin (as seen below).

I considered, but you size makes the double be proportionate. I have an 11EEE black shell PA with a double JR, and it looks about like a 9D PA with a single. Now, is the single even more dressy and more in line with my joke, totally. Thanks for keeping me in line!
