I was looking for dress shoes to go with a summer combo based on a light blue cotton&linen odd jacket with white pinstripes, which I normally wear with some blue/navy, white or off white trousers. In another thread I was suggested to try some light tan suede shoes, and that sounded as a nice option.
However, the other day, in a very nice (and expensive) men's clothing store here in town, my eyes fell on a wonderful pair of shoes in a fairly dark, very full blue colour. A also loved the shape of those shoes. Very special, very nice.
Now, they were by Sutor Mantellassi and the retail price was EUR 680, which is a bit above what I am prepared to pay right now (and this shop never seems to run any sales).
So what should I do?
- Look for other sources for blue shoes? Any suggestions? (One problem is that most blue shoes I see are loafers, and I do not like loafers. And I am not looking for deck shoes.)
- Or should I rather forget about blue shoes? (I never heard any reference to blue dress shoes except once, in Obabakoak, in which there was a chapter about a lunatic who thought that a white suit and blue shoes were the thing to wear if you wanted to be elegant; that was the first thing he bought with the money he had stolen from his boss after killing him)
