These are cool. I don't think I know this maker. New or an outworker I presume?

Cross Post from the Passus Shoe Thread. We were discussing similarities and differences between the new Passus Jonathan on the wider 4000 last and other makers. I posted a comparison pic just for fun.

Agreed. Yours? I have the three eyelet version and love them.

No. I don't own any SpTDs from SB, only oxfords. My apprehension with their SpTDs in the past was they exhibited a bit too much Italian flair. I prefer a more subdued SpTD.

These, on the other hand, are more conservative. More in-line with models found from English shoemakers.

I will say with this styling, construction method, and top grade leather you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal. ??

I wonder what the difference is over the standard SB stuff.

2 second look on the picture, I would say sole finishing and probably GYW?

 

[BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes]

Could be, but for that price.. I'd save my dollars for the top of line stuff.

The Anglo-Italian look: “Mr. Green meet Mr. Bemer”. Got to have fun with this hobby.

Should come as no surprise to anyone reading this, but Mr. Green comes out on top
