Yeah those are my only things turning me away from them now isnthe toe on the wolverines and the plainess of the trickers. I want a lace up boot that is not too sleek because I have enough sleek shoes.

I'd get the Dayton service boots undistressed if I could get them right away. Might just keel on looking.

The wolverines are just ugly. Hate the bulbous looking toe.

I have no idea what the rest of your outfits look like, so don't know what to recommend. But I think brogues are much more interesting looking, or if you're looking for something cleaner looking, would recommend a chelsea or jodphur boot instead.

I was pretty disappointed with the mmm's in person. Theyre pretty unsubstantial looking. However, those boots look a little nicer overall but im not really feeling the sole. Maybe wait and pick up the mmm's when its not winter?

Vintage highs actually look decent when worn, I'd say just choose the color you would wear the most.

I have been debating those vintage hi's forever, if the sole was true white or black they would be nice but that off white is horrible

Don't think that would look good on you but I've liked it.

I don't have a good blazer, all of them are too big for me.

I found this Prada blazer. It's slim fit and seems to fit me finally.

The pictures are not very good, but you get the general idea. Nothing special. Just a regular blazer. Oh and the price is only $120.

What do you think?

sleeves are a little short, but that's a matter of preference, and otherwise the fit looks good. If the sleeves don't bother you, get it.

good choice sha. probably my favourite sneakers of all time. super versatile and yes, you dont have to worry about them. would take painted over all white anyday.

to the vintage sole, i had a pair of cp van zip ups (7 hole slip on) and the sole was off-white, its not noticeable in real life, and i rather liked the colour. if youre worried about the sole-dont.
