What about these shoes for summer?

[Stu]

Maybe with sport shirts, cotton/linen blend trousers or nicer chinos?

If it were me I'd pull the trigger

I like 'em. Actually, I think I bid unsuccessfully on some in my size a couple of weeks ago. I assume that there's a bit of foreshortening going on in the angle of the photo and that they aren't quite as squat and stubby looking in real life.

very nice, stu

Since you asked for opinions, I find them unattractive. However, deversity is the spice of style, go for them.

Yeah Stu. I like the look. But the soles and heels look a little too thick to me. Are they elevator?

 

[trogdor]

Nice, and unusual enough to be interesting, without being so unusual as to be a distraction. If the soles were a bit thinner, I'd be all over them like a fat kid on a mars bar.

I think that is kind of the style for a summer buck-style shoe, if you look at some of the C&Js and other models offered this summer by Ben Silver. It seems a nice shoe to have around, not a rotation regular, but certainly a good summer shoe to pull out from time to time.
