Need Help Finding a Pebble Grain Cognac / Chestnut Derby with a Commando or Dainite Sole

Hi All,

It's been a while since I have posted but I want to replace a pair of Ferragamos that are a cognac colored pebble grain derby with a fake commando sole...they have fallen apart AGAIN and I don't feel like another bandage fix. I have small feet (size 8 US) and the nice thing about the Ferragamo is that they have a thin commando style sole and a slightly more pointed toe than I suspect the higher quality English versions will have. For this reason I might be safer with a Dainite sole.

So I have been looking around and I can't quite find what I want.

The Barker Peebles is the most similar is style to the shoes I want to replace but I don't want chocolate brown unless I absolutely have to.

These Barker Nairn are more the right color:

Any other suggestions?

I have looked at Trickers and Cheaney but the toes see too round.
