Spectator Appreciation

[supern0va]



Gorgeous shoes; unconscionable cuff-height-to-hem-width-and-inseam ratio.

Thanks man (I hope)

Anyone know who makes these? Saw them on Pinterest.

Anyone know who makes these?

I don't. But, the colour scheme is pretty popular in a full brogue oxford: I have a similar arrangement from Barker that I bought from Robinson's (Northern Ireland - their own discontinued version also had a medallion). Herring also do one, made by Cheaney, called the "Fencote".

But a half brogued adelaide spectator in this configuration I haven't seen before. It smells Italian! I do know where you could get one: J Fitzpatrick Shoes (see the thread here) have a MTO programme, and according to recent pics on Justin's blog, a half-brogued adelaide is on the list of options. Adding a medallion and the navy suede/light tan leather options should be possible. If I'm not mistaken they have a discount running at the moment too. Also, I think Justin's last is nicer than the one in your pics I think, but each to his own.

Best of luck!

It's all I can do not to buy these:

I've often thought about spectators, but in the often wet and cold climates of Scotland, I'd have so few chances to wear them without appearing to force the issue. (you always know when its the first day of sunshine in Scotland, everyone wears a T-shirt even when its still too cold).

I keep my specs on the fun side.

Enzo Bonafé? The toe shape and welt top nudge me towards guessing EB.

Yes, excellent perception, it's Bonafè!

Maybe I've always been too shy to pull the trigger on a pair of spectators, but last summer Grenson had a deal that I couldn't decline.
"Aaron" shoes delivered at my home for £ 100 only.

Made in India, so not the best quality, but for a "fun" shoe (and for me to break the ice on spectators) more than enough.
I think they go better with light brown/tan linen suits though.

Hi, all. Anyone know what this particular style of spectator shoe is called? I'm looking for something like this where the vamp is clean and a different color than the rest and goes all the way to the round (but not pointy) toe. Anyone know what to search for or a manufacturer that makes something like this? I've seen them in loafers, but not with laces. Thank you!
