You already have a cigar longwing on a leather sole, right? The cigar PTB on crepe seems to be the only cordovan model that actually looks really good on crepe - it's pretty popular (made by three retailers). I would say get it for variety's sake. You can always switch out the crepe for leather or dainite later. I was surprised by how much I wore my cigar PTBs on crepe in the spring and summer. I'll wear it less now that it is boot season but it is a great makeup.
I'm torn between the frans boone cigar plain toe models.
On the one hand, I love the all day comfort and kick-around nature of the crepe soles.
On the other hand, I love the variegated antique edgetrim of the leather soles.
