I believe it was Doc that said that the RLPL McKay (EG Asquith) in Dk. Oak on the 888 is perhaps the perfect (brown) shoe: http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8062/12020801pr.jpg

Fritzl's Hungarian shoes refined a bit by Marini in Rome.
I prefer three or four eyelets
St Crispin's are bit pointy ( and pricey) for my taste but with a slightly rounder toe
I'd go for them.

Great suggestions so far, guys. Thanks. Pls keep them coming. I'm leaning toward the punched cap oxford or a plain cap oxford. But Teddie's suggestion of a derby, combined w/ woolymammoth's pics, have me looking that way.
What are your ideas for the two pairs?
Ya, that's not good.
I have not met mine yet, probably will have to go bespoke to get the blackest of brown [or the right patina] possible. One formal and one casual as far as styling, probably. Will remember to post once I have some.Originally Posted by mmkn

Hmmm, on second glance, I just noticed the punching along the toe cap on those Vass Adelaides could've been more centered between the 2 rows of stitching...Originally Posted by Wes Bourne

+1 on the Asquith. A very close second is the EG Dover in dark oak on the 606 last.
