The salerno weave looks "interesting". Somebody has em? Are they hard to pull off? Are they dress clothing shoes or can they go with jeans/khakis?

+1 they look nice but I do not know what to wear that weave pattern with. Khakis? Linen pants?

I'd wear them with heavily textured fabrics: cords, moleskin and maybe flannel (denim, if the shoe's styling is right).

Unfortunately, the model(s) I really want isn't any cheaper than Shoe Mart's regular price, so I'm waiting.....and watching the stock dwindle....and dwindle....

Turins came in today, fit perfect in a size 13 (all of my other Italian shoes are 12, YMMV)

Was a little taken aback with the pointyness of the toe but they elicited positive comments from the wife.

I always thought the weave pattern was more of a spring/summer shoe? I would stick with linens, jeans, khakis and light weight fabrics.

The pointy toe made me send them back.

I saw pics where someone had their cobbler round off the sole. It actually made the shoes look much better. I like the chiseled toe, but the sole is much more square than the upper. I may try that with my pairs.

Good point. That probably restricts them to linen and denim (can't think of any other heavily [visually] textured summer-weight fabrics).

Anyone want a pair of these in size 10.5 D? They will fit a size 11 D US. They are absolutely fantastic in person. The ones I am selling do not have a face.

They cost me about $155 since I had to pay tax. I'll sell them for $170 shipped to cover Priority Mail and PayPal fees.

.5

I'm an 11.5b in standard US /AE measure. This last fits me well in an 11.

Supporting Angel here to say I also have this shoe. It's a great shoe with suts or jeans.
