Need a good solid wingtip in brown.

Personally, I like the AE Bel-Air. It's a pretty versatile shoe.

Nice looking shoe. I'm so used to getting AE's for deep discount that I would balk at paying
$350+, but it's pretty sleek for a wingtip. Very versatile too.

These are very nice, indeed. They are hard to come by at a discount. I really like mine.

Surprisingly (I do not like AE in general, I find them shapeless and very inelegant shoes), I like those very much.

Those are really nice. As far as the price, which others have mentioned is a tad much, you can always try calling the AE Shoe Bank to see if they have any of these in seconds; maybe get a little discount.

same here, I find most AE unappealing, but these look great.

The AE Store in Wisconsin had them on sale for $178 in December!! I'm wearing mine today and they are quickly becoming one of my favorite pair. They can be worn with just about anything.

I own those in Merlot which is rare. I enjoy them, but not happy with the creasing. Typical AE IMO.

Just snagged a near-mint pair of these for 72 bucks--including shipping. Can you believe it? Ebay rocks. ;]
