What do members think of this shoe?

[Artisan Fan]

Too busy but last looks superb.

 

[StockwellDay]

I'm really like them. I'm a big broughing & medallion fan - especially together.

Probably more of these

I would like them more without the strap.

Not too busy IMO, some is going to be under you pant leg anyway.

You guys probably don't much go for bentivegna welting either. Live a little. You are not here to be judged on your purity! Let go of your dreams of closets filled with plain cap-toes and whole cuts! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Such drama over a nice shoe. I agree with Pejsek 100%.

To my eye, the originally posted monkstrap is a more interesting shoe than these casuals.

I agree. I expected at least 50% of the members to like the original monkstrap. I'm suprised by the negative reactions.

I'm still undecided

Great looking shoe imo. Maybe it is a little busy, but that is what makes it different than most other monks.
