Red Wing Taslan laces double knotted to prevent them peeking out of the pant leg.

Happy Friday forum pals. Enjoy the 3 day weekend coming up for Memorial day. Ravello LWBs for some errands and a trip to the doctor's office.

What's y'all's take on these blue suede caps from Brogue? My girlfriend was looking over my shoulder while I was window shopping online and said she'd cough up half the cost of this pair for my birthday (she's an Elvis fan, haha).

Maybe not the most wearable shoe, but blue suede is always fun.

I love them, have been trying to find a pair of EEE blue suede lace-up shoes for quite some time. The next time someone does a preorder I'll probably join it.

Blue suede is more versatile than it appears, you can wear it to the office and no one will really bat an eye IMO.

Get them!!!! Blue suede shoes are one awesome pair of footwear. Don't wear them often, but when I do someone always compliments them. Carl Perkins is the author of "Blue Suede Shoes", Elvis had much better stage presence.

I think they are cool. I think they would pair well with grey, khaki, or even green chinos.

I always have a casual pair of blue something in my rotation. I have blue suede drivers (which I only use for driving before putting on my dress shoes for work) and navy suede Oliver Cabell minimalist sneakers.

I wish Alden would bring back navy reverse chamois. I'd love them in a NST boot or even a shoe.

Seen these in person and may stop by Brogue this weekend as well. I can take photos of them in hand if you like? Just curious how faithful to the actual shoes these are?

I have been looking for photos of his actual Blue Suede Shoes for a while. Haven't found any that are definitive, so I'm going to throw hat in ring for "Mack's are as good as anyones" I have the Ealdwine, which are not cap toe, but they are blue suede.
