Bally Scribe Double Monks

[aon]

I was originally planning to buy a c&j lowndes.. but I found this pair on sale at around 300USD. I'm not sure though if this is better value for money. Quality seems at par if not better than my c&j handgrades. They also come with lasted shoe trees. I am not familiar with the Bally Scribe Line. Any opinions if the quality of these shoes are good or should I have bought c&j instead? Thanks!

Get the scribe.

The lowndes cannot compare. Not even close

That's a fantastic deal. Scribes cost $1000 a pair in Switzerland and never go on sale.
They're built like tanks, Goodyear welted with a decent amount of handwork.
I find them a bit bulky for my taste but these are nice.
Nice find.

Thanks for all your thoughts. I found this pair in an outlet store in hong kong, near the airport. The place is citygate outlets. There are four different scribes left there. Wingtip derbies, double monks and loafers in brown, and 1 black oxford. Prices range between 2500hkd to 3000hkd for the brown shoes and somewhere below 4000hkd for the black oxford.
