Opinions on these white wingtips

[Get Smart]

I fuckin love these.....just curious what anyone else thinks of em?

 

[whoopee]

I don't like the brown peeking through the broguing nor the stitching personally but I think they would work well with your style.

I prefer some of his cufflinks but I think those are cool for your style.

 

[StevenRocks]

I wouldn't wear them, but they look awesome.

 

[Brian SD]

I would totally wear em. I love them.

Here're the BB made ones:

A while back I posted some Tricker's boots just like those bucks. I think the smooth leather ones look too much like golf shoes, but bucks would be cool.

Whoopee....yea the brown peeking thru the broguing is one of the details I really liked, providing some contrast so it isnt stark white.

Tiger...I have a pair of the mini cooper links, they're fun.

I'm hoping they have these in-store to check out in real life this weekend.

Wouldn't raw jeans turn shoes like this blue within days, if not hours?

 

[Get Smart]

Yes they would...I wouldnt wear white leather shoes with raw jeans for that reason. But with a slim casual wool or cotton trouser they'd look great.

They look great, and I agree about the brown peaking through. It adds visual interest rather than just blinding you. I do think, though, that if you are going to sport shoes like that, you should top it off with a cool lid.

I like those shoes, Jason. Personally, I wouldn't wear them because I don't quite understand how to coordinate white (except for shirts) with other items in my outfit.

I dont mind indigo stains on my white trainers, but I wouldnt want those same stains on a $400 pair of dress-y shoes

Have you seen his Bristol 403 ones? I have them in red and green. Everyone who studies them asks me what kind of car is on them, too. Nobody guesses right, though.

 

[Get Smart]

yep, I have those as well, where one link is the front of the car (red) and the other link is the rear (green). I want to get the clock links next, in red.
