My Allen Edmonds' Hamptons in Walnut and White Calf. CH
nice shoes. However, I really wish they made it with the traditional white suede... or at least a higher quality calf for the white areas.

I like the suede too, but it's an added hazard, difficult to protect and clean.

I am an idiot - I ordered different Hamptons - brown all over, not the specs. They're nice though. But it means that of my AE outlet splurge, there is only one pair of true spectators. However, if you'll forgive the BB pic, I have to say they are absolutely awesome!

A sunny day and my Herring Shrewsburys, navy suede and white calf.

Very nice.

Those work real well with those slacks. Nice pairing.

Something you don't see every day. (Did I just say that about a pair of spectators?) LOL

The Broadstreet isn't the best spectator in the world, but I'd guess it's outsold its nearest competitor by about 10 to 1. Plus, the rounded toe is more comfortable than many versions. The Broadstreet is to spectators what bread is to food.
