critique my new shoes

[cali510]

so i just got these john varvatos shoes on GILT 2day for $195 shipped. I tried them on at the jv store and thought they looked pretty sick. what are you guys' opinions? i am most likely going to wear them with black pants// blue jeans. btw im 22 yrs old.

Fitted pants and some "swagger" you're good. At 22 wearing ps you're miles ahead of your avg kenneth cole/hugo boss wearing crowd. However, I do suggest some English bench made after 25.

Love the crotch-pointing toes!

Why are they curled up like that?

Eh they're okay. Hope the toe flattens out a bit.

toe is a bit too bulbous for me

weird shoes bro

i tried them on in the jv store (sf) and the toe isn't actually pointed up like that. once you put them on, they look like normal. I really liked the distressed look but thats just me.

Most dress shoes i see on this forums are on the "Mens clothing" section and seems like its a much older crowd. what kind of oxfords would u guys recommend to be worn with jeans/ pants

I think they're a good pickup for the price. From what I've seen, JV footwear is hysterically overpriced at full retail, but $195 is fair for these. The quality is good.

I'd be curious to see pics of you wearing the actual items. Looks like these have been washed - and they intentionally curled the sole to make them look soft and crazy. N.D.C. does a similar technique. Once you wear them, they'll probably flatten out and look normal.

Looks like someone squeezed them in a vise.

Yup. I'd wear them. The Dayton Service Boots also, once worn look normal.

Just a random thought, I know they are supposed to run quite large.

Maybe they run large because you're supposed to buy them long enough that your foot doesn't compress out the craziness? Weird thought.
