Only having seen photos of the Weymouth, I can at least point out: the Weymouth has a chisel-toed last, the Westgate does not.

sorry to ask again:
What can you wear with black shoes? Navy blazer? Dark brown trousers?
Light colored trousers?
I'm also waiting for some olive Zanellas.

I believe the rules say: with anything. But the forum says you should only wear black shoes when you have to, which is presumably with a tuxedo, charcoal, or navy suit.

Dark brown shoes look excellent with navy.

or charcoal. Black with charcoal reduces charcoal to a faded black, making you look like a shopworn funeral director.

Ha, I used to work at the cemetary where Marlene Dietrich is buried.
Not as a director though.
But seriously, what else am I going to wear with these Westgates?

I'll remember that, but I'm not a huge fan of charcoal for suits since it does indeed tend to look like worn out black.
