Feeling Spain today.

It's snowing. These don't look it but they have the best grip on ice due to the v-treads.

Hi Andreasky,
No they are not new, but are closer to 2 years old. Got them in Madrid in March 2017.

I have a love hate relationship with them.

They are in very good conditions.
Whah do you have a love-hate relationship with them?

Thank you, I generally follow the advise on the forums here on how to maintain them.

The love hate relationship is one that is shared amongst all my cordovan shoes. These shoes are very good in the snow. However, water tends to make them spot easily, which causes me angst. Then I clean the shoes and realize how much better they are and I love them.

It's weird...

Think about them like you would a baby. You HAVE to change those diapers. But the love and joy outweigh the annoyance.

I think these are stunning but don't have the self-assurance to pull these off. What do you typically wear these with?

I have to say Daniela is awesome!

My 9.5UK full strap loafers are awesome!

First off they are darker in real life then the website pic.

Second Green is probably one of the most underutilized shoe colors that really can be worn with any color pants except for green.

They really look fantastic with black, tan, blue, really anything just not green on green.

They are by no means loud there is nothing to pull off with this color of green.

I can't believe there are actually visual aids for something like this. Worse, the NO! Dark Brown shoes with Burgundy pants* - especially when Black with them is OK! - doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the rest of it...

(*I've never done it but have seen it done well, very well, plenty of times...)

Like many things it's a Guide, it gives you general rules to go by but is not the final authority. Here is another chart breaks the shoes into categories showing yet a different guide.

The original questions was what do green shoes go with, I still say any color pants except green.

My Carmina today. Glad that my workplace has no dress code, so I can wear any Carmina I like on any given day of work
