Thanks placing order. Are there any discernible fit differences in the 606 last as compared to maybe the 888, 202, 82 & 89 lasts? Thanks EDIT: after doing some research, the color of that shoe looks to be chestnut. Am I correct? Do you have any more shots? Thanks

When people say "Nice shoes" it's more likely find it interesting looking but not necessarily something they would like to wear.

I have received more compliments on a pair of extremely average driving loafers I received as a gift than any other pair of shoes before or since. Therefore I disregard those completely and utterly. However a pair of Trickers Stow boots in acorn have 3 compliments so far. One from a lather worker, and two from rather good looking women. I suspect the colour makes them stand out. Otherwise, a pair of suede brogues are sitting on -1 "You shouldn't have bought those, they will stain," a pair of chelseas on -1 "the weird red soles" and the rest - mostly wholecuts, some even highly regarded here - don't get as much as a look.

While attending a conference a few years ago, I had just started riding down an escalator when I heard a woman’s voice behind me say “those are very nice shoes”. I was wearing my favorite wholecut Berluti’s so I was pleased by the recognition in my taste and sense of style.

As I said “Thank you” and turned to look at the lady, I realized she was complementing the other lady behind me on her shoes. While that could (and should) have been an uncomfortable moment, I was able to turn the situation around by agreeing how wonderful the other lady’s shoes were, and making a self-effacing joke (“clearly I am way too interested in shoes”). We carried the conversation on for a while after the escalator ride. The rest of the story is for another time.

Yes, as per my research on this thread, the combination of wingtips in chestnut/walnut/acorn is the #1 compliment generator.

Gimmie a break was just a bit of fun and also a compliment for Ich's top shoes.
