I am currently looking to add a fourth shoe to my rotation. I already have a AE Park Avenues in Black, Santoni wingtip in dark brown, and Alden LHS Moccasin in Burgundy. Currently, the fourth pair of shoe I am looking to add is a Monk. I especially like the Crockett & Jones Lowdnes in Black. It's a double monk. Here is a link to the actual shoe. http://www.crockettandjones.co.uk/monkshoes-lownde.html My question is whether you guys think this is a good next shoe to purchase to help establish my shoe wardrobe? Do you have any other recommendations that might be better? Ordering online the price seems pretty good at around $350. I appreciate any advice that anybody could offer. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the insight. I think I am definitely going to get them. Is there any opinion on whether these type of shoes look better in black or dark brown?

Am I missing something on the Bris comment (isn't that a Jewish circumcision ceremony?)

Those are nice! Also, if you can swing it, pick up a loafer by J.M. Weston; classic style and well made
