Note: They were a bit tight with socks, but I tried them on my bare foot and they felt pretty comfortable. I'm thinking they will look better with shorts once they are broken in.

Those are the shoe equivalent of pleated jeans.

Ouch. I've been humbled by the LabelKing! I bow before your sense of style.

Seriously though, I'm glad I took them back. They definitely were not the right thing. I guess some part of my mind was thinking that a cross between a penny loafer and a fisherman's sandal would make a good summer shoe. I think that this is another case of form over function. They were quite comfortable and breathable for a leather loafer worn barefoot.

wanna get some red shoes for summer, trying to stay away from captoes, purcells and the like

keds cvo

tommy bahama grand harbor

born lynch

tommy bahama barbados (suspiciously like ndc?)

puma benny breaker

tretorn t56

i like the look of the grand harbors the best, but i'm suspicious of spending $90 on tommy bahama

i'd prefer sperry, but their cvo is orange this season

thoughts?

^^ I like the Keds and the TB Barbatos

Keds Champion imo. I feel if you're going red a canvas shoe is easier to pull off than a boat shoe. Plus I've always liked the shape of those Keds.

Wow, I never thought the day would come when I would like ANYTHING from Tommy Bahama. But these shoes ain't bad for $108.
