Hi all, this was one of my first threads:
http://www.styleforum.net/t/324420/ae-veronas-for-banking-in-brazil
At the end I bought two Veronas, one in black and the other in brown. It's almost the only thing I wear, one day the brown and black the other one. I really like the shoes, they are really comfortable for the long hours at work and I enjoy walking and looking at them.
I also have a pair of Massimo Dutti Black Cap Toe Oxfords, these are my "formal suit" shoes altough they are a little bit fashion forward and are more than 3 years old.
I had a good year at work and received a good bonus so I plan to buy some shoes to add versatility and functionality to my shoe collection, I don't plan to spend all my bonus obviously but I need your advice to make the best purchase decision.
First, I have decided to buy the Neumok in blue, this is (almost) not for discussion, I really like the shoes and I think are a good casual addition to my shoe collection, for a casual friday or a night out:

Second, it gets a little bit tricky, I want to add a wingtip (McAllister) the thing is IDK if I should buy it in merlot or in walnut, is the merlot too reddish or the walnut too clear?. The McAllister I think adds versatility and could be used with not so formal suits. Which colour do you guys think is better?

Third, IDK if the next purchase should be another loafer (Patriot, Randolph or Urbino) in brown, which is better, tassel or penny loafer? And between pennies the Randolph or the Patriot? or a formal black cap toe oxford to replace the Massimo Duttis (Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue), or a double Monkstrap in bourbon (Mora 2.0) opinions?
Finally, to party I am looking at the suede/leather drivers/loafers from Cole Haan (~150USD) o chukkas from another brand, I don't like to spill a drink in +300USD shoes. If you know of any other brand that fits this criteria pls tell me.
Thank you for your suggestions, appreciate it.
