I don't mean to sound snarky, but if you really think it's ever OK to wear Chucks to a wedding, then what are you doing in this thread? I don't think I'm going out on a limb here by saying that everyone in this thread appreciates fine footwear and looks for every opportunity to show off their purchases. If you're not going to wear nice shoes to a wedding, then what's the point of having them?

Just sayin' . . .

I think that walnut will look just fine with a medium grey suit. Although what the others have said about role in the wedding is something to take into account. I know you have other shoe options right? :)

I do. But Haven't worn my strands in a while, so I think I"ll go with those.

I want so many shoes but my wallet doesn't seem to feel the same way

Thanks for all the advice. Just called the Shoebuy folks ordered seconds of the Kenilworths in Bourbon ($157) and the Strands in Walnut, Brooks Brothers version ($179). And that was before the $50 AmEx discount. Not bad. Can't wait to get them.

7rocket, why don't you just go with those Carminas you always talked about?

Classy! I love color 8 longwings with the black welt/edge! Here's my appreciation for the day: the under-appreciated Bradley. This one has particularly awesome hand stitching on the vamp/toe. Too bad the web site photos don't exploit this

I have a pair of brown shell Bradleys. I don't wear them enough. Yours are looking good today.

Has anybody got any insight on how the fit would be for the following:

Somebody who normally wears an 8.5E in calf on the 5 last trying to wear:

8.5D Shell Cordovan Leeds
8.5D Shell Cordovan Cambridge

Thanks

Both will likely be too narrow for you; the 1 last is even narrower than the 5, in my experience.
