Greetings All

I have an opportunity to purchase these brand new alligator oxfords but am waffling a bit as I feel like the tiling is a bit too uniform and the only noticeable variation is hidden down on the sides. However, I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit and this last fits me like a glove. The price is 2K and they are made in Spain. Would also be curious what folks think of the construction, quality, etc based off whatever limited info can be gleaned from the photos. I have another pair of oxfords from this source and they feel well made to me in comparison to say, Mezlans. Am I being too picky?
