Gaz,

Great catch. The shoes are too sexy for you to wear and Mrs. Gaz may not like you wearing them to get female attentions. So, what to do ? Pass them to me at half of your cost, kakakaka :)

Corthay and AUBERCY are very creative and are more designed for the urban Dandy than the CEO...
It is not my cup of tea but we all have different taste making this forum interesting.

Thanks for the follow up comments. I noticed that the nay comments are much more constructive and civilised. Looks like either the juviniles have left due to the recession or grown up a little.

This is certainly not a conversative pair but it does add a bit of flair to the rotation.

Hi, Whilst I'm not 100% on the colours I really think the shoes have some sophistication about them and I like them very much.

I may get blasted for this, but I really do like shoes that stand out (in the correct environment). Not in a flash, or garish way. But in a way that can provide a conversation point with people who may not be well versed in shoes.

So, well done for being so "daring". I just wished that I could afford something similar

We sometimes forget watching one picture that particular pair of shoes is part of an overall collection..
It is easier for someone having already every shoe colours and styles under the sun to pick up a more risky pair than for the beginners...
Somebody asked me once why I did order a pair of bespoke shoes with a deep wine colour, the answer is most likely that I have already enough brown/black/burgundy oxfords or derbys and I really ewanted something different this time.

Now why did you have to drag Mrs Gaz into this. I'll email Mrs Four Aces a link to the purse forum.

The word Galoshes might be used interchangeably with boot, especially a rubberized boot. "

Maybe you were thinking of something else but if I have misused the term "spectators" then I stand corrected.
