I you feel comfortable so attired, so be it. I would only note that even if one ascribes to your suggestion for such shoes in summer's remaining warmth, the occasions to wear such footwear are rather slim. They stop racing at Del Mar after September 3.

I would venture to wear them in the evening...whether its to dance, go out to a restaurant, to be used against the plethora of limousine liberal Obama supporters once they open their big mouths about non-sense "change", or to collect money from dead beats (the front steel plate would come in handy with the dead beats & naturally against the Obama supporters...since you have to do it with classic style

Perhaps Manton can elaborate on how he envisions what color trousers he would wear with them?

As to where he would wear them...thats his own damn business

Tomasso, considering you have no great love for the man...why post here?

Is there any new article of clothing of yours which you wish to share with us?

If you have a leash, bring it out?

Or do you prefer to have your collar tugged regularly?

There is this fine place off of Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood that can make you a bespoke collar if you prefer Tomasso? Just close your eyes and imagine how good it could be for you

Fantastic shoes, Manton! Wow.

I know what you mean. These are much closer to perfection than any RTW I've seen as well.

Ooo totally forgot about this thread - here's two I had custom made a while ago. Nothing extravagant, but I guess not the run of the mill specs

The perforated ones look like the result of a pair of Crocs humping a monkstrap!
