anybody have some of these? I was in the shop the other day and they are really sweet, if a little unusual looking. but I really need a good dress shoe for hot weather. tell me about them.

I believe these are pictured in the Vass book, never seen them in real life though. Might as well get those mesh AEs

My feet have never been THAT hot to excuse the wearing of those.

I have seen some woven ones that I thought looked interesting. Either way, I do not think any of these are "dress" shoes.

You need linen/leather spectators. RL made a shoe called the Addison 2-3 years ago.

actually, i don't know how they look like. my ideas was that the one in the book was a baldessarini edition or did they took over the design after this cooperation has ended?

a friend of mine had a pair made up by balint. he only showed a teaser. eagerly waiting for the pics to come. will let ya know, mate
