So, after getting my Ultimate Indy's I started digging through the LeatherSoul pages and found these:

http://www.leathersoulhawaii.com/200...ng-tip-oxford/

I love these shoes except Tom is sold out!!!! I emailed him and he said that if I could 5 other people or more who wanted to order he would order a batch.... Are there 5 more takers on here by any chance??? I really, really hope so.

I'm not that keen on the detailing on the sides... I guess it's an acquired taste.

You may be able to get a similar shoe MTO from the likes of Tricker's or C&J for around the same price or less.

Better question (now that I researched it and found out) Where did you see the above on their site? I saw something, but it didn't look that similar.

Thanks!

Those are a standard model, even down to the funky punchwork, except not in suede of course.

They have a different wing in suede as well:

Sorry to keep bumping this, but I'm hopeful I can find 5 other like minded "souls"

AoC is a retailer of alden shoes ... just like Leathersoul and shoe mart. Alden has only two retail shops AFAIK - one in NY and one in DC.

Adam fron AoC is a very nice guy, just write to him (email address on their website) and you'll get a reply no matter what the same day (even if you email at like 11 in the night!). Amazing customer service.
