Does anyone have experience with the Bedford sneakers, preferably in the lows? Wondering if I should go TTS, etc.

I’m currently debating between getting the black suede Dakota’s or Lukas.
Which are you leaning towards? I'm much more inclined to getting the Dakotas (but in black leather), and am probably going to grab a pair soon.

I’ve been leaning towards the Dakota’s because I like that the tip of the toe box is pointed instead of flat on the Lukas toe box (petty I know). However I’ve been considering Lukas now because I have two other Wyatt Chelsea’s so the Lukas would be something different.

I feel you. My dilemma is that I already have two pairs of black smooth leather boots, and wonder if it's not totally redundant to get the Dakotas in black leather as well (as opposed to black suede). I really like those Dakotas in lizzard, but can't seem to find any in size 45.

Are you not a fan of the Lukas boots?

I love my Wyatt Chelsea boots in suede wood color. The rounded (almond) toe and 30mm heel height make these great all-around boots.

I already have this exact pair of Chelsea’s in the wood color as well as the classic Wyatt Chelsea in the cigaro color. That’s why I want the Dakota’s or the Lukas for the different shape.

Yeah, I got you! I may venture into one of those boots in the future...

I keep going back and forth with them. I might pick up a pair on sale, but don't like them enough to pay retail.

I agree with you 100% on this...I’d like to try a pair of Lukas but I for sure wouldn’t pay retail for them.

I have these. It's not really green at all, more like a greyish brown. I can dig it out of my closet for a photo later this week if you want. The suede is on the smoother side, if that makes any sense. Not as hairy as the nut suede harness boots or suede lukas boots.

Speaking of which, I don't really like the black suede Lukas because the suede is so hairy. I think it takes away from the sleek profile. The nut/brown suede is hairy too, but I think it is works better than black. I prefer my black suede boots to look more smoother/sleek like the jodhpurs and chelseas.
