Carmina for Epaulet "Salinger" double monks. Love these, but I don't wear them often enough to justify keeping them. Bought them May 2013, paid $565. Have worn them probably ~20 times since then. The leather remains in great shape and is barely broken-in. Have used cedar shoe trees whenever not worn (not included). Soles have plenty of life left in them and show only modest wear. Some very light scuffing exists on the right toe but no scratches or gouges (see photos).
From the Epaulet website:
"Carmina for Epaulet is a capsule collection of exquisite footwear made expressly for us.
The "Salinger" is a classic double monk strap with a slim, elegant shape. Easily paired with both casual and dress looks, the double monk will be one the most versatile styles in your footwear wardrobe. It's just as handsome with a suit as it is with denim, and equally appealing with bright socks as it is sockless. This particular shoe is crafted in beautiful caramel French Calfskin.
The Salinger sits on the Inca last - which is an excellent balance of a sleek shape with ample toe room and comfort. It's details include: silvertone buckles, stitched captoe, signature purple leather liner, elastic top buckle attachment (allowing you to slip into them easily), and a sturdy goodyear-welted double leather sole."
$350 shipped to the continental US via USPS 2-3 day priority mail.
I still have the original box these came in as well as the cloth shoe bags and can include those if desired.
