Would you guys wear green or navy cordovan shoes to work? Too bad I don't have a scan of navy, but Carmina does make them. I figured navy might be better than green for a fancy cordovan colour. What's your take?

Right now I have two pairs of wholecut cordovans - one in mid brown (third from left, and one in black). For some reason, I prefer Rain last shoes in cordovan wholecut. They are so clean.

Wow.

Yes, I think navy would be more versatile. Now, can you wear it with a brown suit?

Yep, I wouldn't do it except for casual wear, but that is the combo. Grey and Navy.

I quite like the far left tan. Very nice.

I think they're all beautiful. That's an elegant, intriguing 'midnight green.'

I think it matches, just not my cup of tea. Nice collection though.

Suitability for "work" be damned, I want a pair of BRG shell cordo wholecuts!

Also, someone (FNB?) posted a picture of some EG's he had made-to-order that were a very dark green. On the screen, at least, they looked spectacular.
