Here's another pick my next pair of shoes for me. I don't need or want black shoes even though that'd be the obvious answer. I also have a pair of F&B brown suede chelseas.

Price range, I say like 600-700 at most?

Currently, I have:

You could go for a wholecut with a medallion like C&J Weymouth 400GBP.
I just saw C&J Rosemoor on Pediwear and I like it 400GBP.
Another option is a brown half brogue oxford in suede like C&J Belgrave 390GBP.
Do you like loafers?
Do you want to try shell cordovan? I think Alden is in your price range.

How about a 2-eyelet Derby, like the Alfred Sargent Bourne:

I don't believe they make it in any other colour than black, but most English companies make this style so I'm sure you'll be able to find one in a colour you like.

First off, where do I get EG's for less than 700 besides ebay?

Second, I should've been clearer, but I have casual wear for work except a few times a month and will be going back to school next year, so pretty much casual wear all the time then too. I like the C&J Weymouth but I've been hesistant to get wholecuts since I might never wear them.

Cordo is good, and I've been pondering the Alden LWB but want to wait for either Ravello or Whiskey instead of #8. I'm a US 7.5D so it's hard to find them. I haven't seen anything available in those two colors in my size except for some NST's or some variant of a split toe, which I don't like.

I can't do loafers. I have a smaller left foot so they just never feel right.

Edit:
I do have some chelseas in brown suede, more SW&Dish though.

The alternative is to **** the shoes and get a ToJ DR. I just don't quite trust the SW&D board and their penchant for sucking certain affiliates' dicks, even more so than on MC.

Let's see, you have both a wingtip and a punched captoe (quarter brogue) in both oxford and blucher permutation, a double monk, a suede chukka, and a work-type boot.

I'd go with a half brogue - like the EG above, or a C&J Westfield in dark brown - or a brown suede shoe, either oxford (my preference) or wingtip (probably more popular on SF.)

Of course, it depends on how often you wear suits, though a nice suede oxford can be worn with both suits and jeans (IMHO, it may violate Da Rulz.)
