as far as length and width - yes
for volume, feels like they have a slightly flat/low toecap, and a high instep, which makes my heel tend to slip out a bit.

i have a medium-high arch. those with shallower arch may not find these appropriate.

I think you can pull it off in suede but I dislike calfskin/cordovan bals with denim for the most part.

Am I wrong to think suede bals should stick to suits and less dressier days involving sport coats (for example)?

*note: Grensons above look awesome with denim actually.


Actually the shoe in question is a quarter brogue adelaide oxford. However, suede is inherently causal because of it's texture and therefore should be worn with anything casual from sport coats and slacks to jeans. I would not however wear calfskin oxfords with jeans, unless the intent of the look is to be anti-establishment, or that you only own one pair of shoes.

I'm glad someone agrees with me as I've had the argument before where they argue any oxford is no good with jeans. I love the look though!

Cross posted from SW&D; ignore my black jeans/socks as I'm just trying the boots on around the house.
