Nice.

Very pretty.

There's something slightly discordant about the intensely elegant last and the necessarily busy design of a full brogue with medallion. But it's good discordant, on balance, I think.

Why does that not surprise me?

I'm going to try to post my new bespoke Corthay's. Crossing my fingers (the color is off--it is more a plum color). Forgive me if this doesn't work--first attempt at pics. What would these best go with (I know many do not like exotic skins)?

I feel that these would look nice with grey flannel.

Thank you. They were not as much as one might expect--not much more than some Lattanzi shoes I have ordered in "regular" leather. And less than a Kiton RTW pair I saw at their NY boutique!

Wcp45, beautiful Corthay

The plum color is absolutely gorgeous

I'd wear it with blue flannel, along with royal blue and even Navy suits
