i'm from melbourne, they're from luisa (a reasonably high end store i think??) and they're marked down from $590AUD to $185AUD.

opinions appreciated, especially in the next eight hours as if I don't buy them in the morning when I wake up the sale is off so theyre pricey again.

cheers

You can't go too far wrong with those shoes. I esp like the sorta bulbous toe . Nice twist.

I like them and they seem versatile. The navy looks good on you. Do it!

Shoes look fine. Lot of people here rock this look.

That sportcoat is way too long on you, though.

I'm a big fan of wingtips with jeans. Who makes that shoe?

The weird toes will go well with jeans I think, colour looks pretty nice too.

Hoope Im not touching a sensitive subject but have you ever considered shaving you're head. You might look kind of bad ass that way.

Also shoes look pretty good, and is that the Jcrew madras shirt?
