You're not marsupialed (questionable term to use), probably. Bals with shorts is a serious no-go, in my book. They are kind of a buck, and I suppose bucks with shorts wouldn't be the end of the world, but these are too dressyWhat do you guys think about the AE Spiaggia shoe? Is it something that could be worn with both shorts and jeans or am I just marsupialed?
AE must have known it is my b-day next week since it sent me a pair of first quality brown shell Strands instead of the second quality ones I ordered from Jeffersonville for $299--no imperfections (other than some very slight color variation), no seconds stamp on soles, and blue flannel shoebags, all in a seconds-labelled box. Suffice to say I was quite surprised when opening that present. Plus the pair of second quality black shell Macneils I ordered at the same time look to be great shape as well--I was afraid TTS might not fit, but it seems perfect.
I think it's OK, but I find navy suede Stewart to be a lot more versatile. They seem to be sold out at Lands End (to which they were exclusive) but I've seen them on the recent Shoebank list of seconds. With a little luck, you can score it at 2 for 250 at the forthcoming sale.
FWIW, I've also seen a navy suede buck Alden at the recent Shoemart list, although it's much pricier at $299+$15 for shipping.
Bingo, this is exactly what I was picturing as what I would consider wearing with shorts (or perhaps chinos too). Definitely more useful than a balmoral in blue suede.
I looked at it and considered it briefly. On its own, I actually really like the look; however, I just don't see it working in my wardrobe.
If it was a blucher, I would consider wearing them with shorts, but as they stand now they just seem too incongruous in general to fit a specific niche for me.
