What do you wear this shoe with? Is it versatile?

Dark brown tapering to black. Seems like it may not be as versatile as either a dark brown or black shoe.

Also, any ideas about the maker? It's a Borrelli Luxury Vintage shoe, so is it Sutor? Or is it Santoni now? And... these run a size large, correct?

The Borelli Luxury Vintage series are definitely not Sutor or Santoni, they are of lesser quality.

I dont think th etoe is black, rather just heaviliy burnished to a very dark brown. They should versatile.

No like either.

It's a wishy-washy shoe. I hate wishy-washy.

Wear it with jeans. The dude with blowed-out spikes and untucked striped shirt can't really say sh*t to you.

the nap looks different on the toe than on the vamp, the shape is meh and it just looks cheap. I mean, the whole cap toe thing is not really me but if you like the style, you can pretty much get the same shoe from any british maker from Loake on up. Don't go to the Italians for British style shoes and vice versa.
