What do you buy? I have the "basics," so I just wanted to hear some opinions. I have not fully decided myself, but I do have a few choices I am still considering. Anything except for black / brown captoes is fair game.

Since you're being extremely vague...how about some shell cordovan longwings.

Hmmm?

What do you need those shoes for? Work? Social events? Both?

meh, that is the thing... don't really need them for anything really. I have enough shoes to satisfy both my work and casual needs... Just kind of want something more "fun" I guess. vagueness is part of the fun

Don't laugh. I was a Mark Nason poster child until about a year ago... :)

Want to buy my used Nasons?
