WSAYWT: What Shoe Are You Wearing Today SWD (boots/sneakers/lace ups/anything goes)

[troika]

Frankly if i had to buy a good quality and versatile pair i would go for the Weston 180. I had a pair in the time (suede), really classy, comfy, and sturdy.

I really like my pair in burgundy calf, and it's always great to have a pair, but I'd have to say that it's a very specific look. Chunky, and with the split toe, not as versatile as a traditional penny.

This is actually as hilarious as it was for my airbnb host the first time I tried to pronounce lake Pontchartrain

Next time you are in town, get an airbnb on Tchoupitoulas and try to pronounce that...

I found the chocolate suede ones VERY versatile, used to wear them with jeans or trousers, dressed down or up. They are classics here.
I can understand (a bit) what you mean though, maybe the suede ones look less 'chunky' than the calf leather ones.

About loafers some more, just not sure what toe shape is the most versatile. Currently leaning toward the Carmina Uetam last.

What about lof and tung? Price is right

JM Weston is not cheap though - $300 more than Vass and $700 more than Grant Stone if they have seconds in your size

For that chunky look I’d probably buy Trickers - their split toe loafer can be found as cheap as $150 on Yoox

I have a fondness for poorly executed black and tan

I’ll throw Sanders in there for loafer talk. Reasonable price and decent looking takes on a couple of standard loader shapes.
