Arca is still probably one of my grail RTW shoes. I may have to pick a pair up when I am in Paris this summer.

I'm not impressed by the Arca. There are other Corthay models that i'd prefer myself such as the Wilfrid or the Jouvet.

Wow, those are really beautiful. What do you wear green shoes with, though?

See, that is the funny thing. I really don't understand my attraction to it, and to be honest, it really does not fit into my personal 'style.' I think I love it because it was the first 'luxury' shoe I ever saw.

I usually wear mine (I have Corthays in both olive and "verte bronze") with brown, dark grey, or olive trousers/suits.
