What do you think of these shoes and does anyone have them?

[dropout5]

i really love these shoes. looks like they are exlusive to shoe mart, but they don't have my size (size 9D). am curious to know people's thoughts on these, especially if anyone actually owns these. how they look/ fit/ etc.

is that because you would not pay $600 for any of alden's cordovan shoes or because you don't like these in particular? agreed that full retail price is steep.

I have the Full Strap Slip-on in both Cigar and Ravello Shell. I prefer their look to the Split Toe and that may be because of the strap, the split toe or the Grant vs. Aberdeen last. To me, the Split Toe also has a more casual look than the Full Strap but they are both slip-ons and that may not be a factor.

It's these in particular. I would be ashamed if I paid that much for them.

I never understand the split toe aesthetic.

Not a fan, but if you like them... go for it.

Like them? Sure. For that price? No. Do I own a pair? No.
Would I buy a pair? Personally those are out of my price range but if you can afford it, and you really like them, and can eventually find your size, then my compliments.

The grant last does them in. Worth another look if ithey were on the aberdeen last.
