Beautiful shoes. I was just eyeing these in Color 8 but the espresso looks real good. They seem to be enjoying the trip.Espresso pinch pennies at Hell's Gate, Rotorua, New Zealand
It was a whim stop otherwise I would have worn athletic shoes, but they always clean up amazingly well with simple brushing:
I love these loafers.

You can't go wrong with either color. I personally prefer Color #8, but I had so much of it already in the closet that a brown loafer made more sense. I'm happy I went with espresso because it left Color 8 for an LHS, which I would never find in brown. Not with my black hole of patience, at least.
After New Zealand, caramel Read boats in Fiji:
This was our first real vacation since our 2011 Tuscan honeymoon, so it was 100% full-on fun time sans abandon.
I've got the plain toe derbies (Sanfords) in caramel shell. I would have multiple Bartletts as well if Allen Edmonds' Strand didn't edge them out in fit!Seriously flirting with pushing the button on a pair of Rancourt's "dress shoes" (balmoral or derby). Anybody here have any input? I tried them on when I visited Maine, thought they were comfortable and clean but I am curious of long term impressions or pictures of different make-ups and colors.
Thanks!
I had a pair of wingtips and two pair of the pebble grain Greenwood shoes and found them all to be well-built and comfortable. I was not a fan of the soft soles of the Greenwoods and had one pair resoled. I probably would’ve had the other resoled as well but better-fitting pairs eased them out of my lineup. I enjoyed wearing all three pairs but all were wider in the heels than I liked, and I eventually decided the 115 last is not for me.Seriously flirting with pushing the button on a pair of Rancourt's "dress shoes" (balmoral or derby).
