Forgive the quick and lousy office pics.

They are flawless!

Anyone who has tried Oscar and Robert, can you comment on the fit difference? Is Robert the same length as Oscar, with a narrower toe? Same instep and width?

Armagnac PTB in Detroit. These were seconds I bought from the outlet sight unseen.....as you can tell the shoes are clearly two different shades of Armagnac. Bothered me for about 2 minutes then I figured no one except me and the folks on this forum will notice anyway, so I've been putting them to good use. Only really noticeable in direct sunlight.

I actually really like both shades, left shoe has an olive undertone and right shoe has a reddish undertone. Would have been even more spectacular if both shoes were the same shade :rotflmao:

Put them in direct sunlight for a while and chances are they will even out

I thought about this but it seems the underlying shades are so different that a sunfade would actually highlight the difference more. I would think the right shoe would fade towards a color 4 whereas the left shoe would fade more towards a cigar color.
