One of these days I'll get the pebble grain Ottowa, I think it is literally their best looking boot. I'm not feeling the red laces, but my style is conservative.

@ZouBirds26 Man, I considered that suede PTB over and over again but couldn't see myself wearing something so light. Why'd you have to go and plant doubts again?!

And the Ivory Suede PTB is on the discontinued page for $160 today. Grab them while you can! Possibly my favorite summer shoe, goes great with lots of things, and gets compliments from everyone.

Actually orange... Didn't care for the stock laces, so I did a temporary swap until my shipment from Guarded Goods arrives.

But the matching belt, how would one procure such a thing? I do wear a lot of khaki colored pants and dark wash jeans.

It is actually a pretty neutral shade, very easy to wear. You can't lose at that price.

You don't need an exact match. You could do a raw veg tanned belt, or natty CXL. You may even find a milkshake suede, like I did.

Close enough: And total of the two is less than the shoes alone were at full price.

The weaseling here is strong! I was going to pick up the black PTB on eBay but may go for the ivories instead. :D

Besides, it'd make a perfect gift for myself, being a pianist...
Not trying to persuade (well maybe assist) in a buying decision, but honestly they are excellent Ivory suede and do go with ivory keys..........Plus, if discontinued the options in the marketplace for Ivory suede, GYW, leather sole PTB's are somewhat limited, and the price is soooo good. If they weren't sold out of my size, I would have bought a pair today just to keep on the top shelf of the closet, in the box, for "future" use. And I bought mine at full retail, and felt good about it then, as the alternative was Alden at twice the price, and the GS is built as well and QC is wonderful on the GS (like beyond any other brand I deal with).

Yeah, when I saw they were still 160, I decided I couldn't pass them up. The color is really nice, I think it'll go well with a lot of things. Sorry for planting doubts
