Absolutely agree @Munky’s photo is fine.

Real shame about that mix up. Are they going to sort it for you?

The grey suede looks nice

Loake Lytham imperfect from the factory outlet in Market Harborough. First outing this morning. Part of a 3 for 2 offer bought a few weeks ago. Really impressed.

They look perfect to me. ??

Thanks Johnnie. The leather on the Lythams are a little stiffer than similar Cheaneys I have but still stunning. 360° storm welt too. They will take a little while.

I walked 4 miles in the Sandowns straight away today with no discomfort.

The 3 for 2 deal also got me some green suede Bedale brogue boots. I haven't worn them out yet.

What does Loake consider imperfect?

 

[Northants bloke]

I'm not sure

I'm not sure

Well... that’s a good thing.

I'm sure I'm not sure, either. Not so sure, though.

I did see some green suede Bedale on the outlet website and thought they looked awfully tempting. I like the other two you picked up too.

I bet the imperfections are minute.

No they are actually the dark khaki. They do look different shades depending on lighting.

I like the look of the astorflex. I assume from pics the welt and sole make them too casual for wearing with grey flannel trousers (even in the darkest brown suede). True?
