Congratulations!
I picked up a pair of the same shoes in the recent BB 50% off sale and I am very happy with them.

I think that they are a bit dressier and a bit more conservative than the more "traditional" spectator designs.

$199+tax. They are awesome and worth every penny. My second shoe on the Sargent 87 last which fits me perfectly.

Mine were too large in 11 and I reckon the UK cut made them like a tad closer to 11.5 USA. I reckon the 10.5Ds would have ben closer to 11Ds.

Um, they dont really glow. I think that has to do with the flash.

Anybody know the color combination these are?

What type of leather is the darker brown?

I'd guess the darker brown to bo sharkskin
