I've been trying to find simple brown leather sneakers (i.e. a refined causal look) for quite a while now and my search has turned up fruitless. Is brown leather just rare or am I looking in the wrong places? Any ideas / suggestions?

Jon.

Puma makes some of their classic shoes, like the Roma, in brown leather.

I have a pair, can't remember the name, (Milan maybe?) that I like the look of, but just don't fit. If you're in the neighborhood of size 11, they'll be up in B&S at some point.

Adidas Originals do a lot of brown leather shoes too - too casual?

Were those the ones with the green trim and multi-coloured stripes?

just to try and narrow down what you really mean....

which of the following 2 shoes fit what you mean by refined casual brown leather sneakers... in my experinece the words 'casual' and 'sneakers' can cover alot of areas

Jon, check out Pantafola D'Oro and Sabelt. They both make excellent sneaks in this style. LA Guy and A Harris are big D'Oro fans.
