I just got a beautiful Sartorio Partenopea charcoal suit for $700 off ebay. I passed up one in super 150's for $1000 in favor of spending the extra $300 on a new pair of shoes.
The suit will be my primary one (phasing out old brooks ease) and is for business. I wear it probably 4-8 days a month. My only pair of dress shoes currently is a pair of black wingtips from Johnston and Murphey. These will be phased out eventually but for now I want to get a really nice pair of brown lace ups preferably Italian or English. I'm hoping to find some online.
I'm going for the full Neapolitan look with tapered legs with cuff and minimal break. Like this:

So whatever they are, they are going to be quite visible and need to be able to stand up to the suit.
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking these would look pretty good with charcoal but im worried about finding a belt in this shade of brown and honestly might want something lighter shade for more color contrast:

Anyone know anything about these or other yoox brands? Fabi etc?
