No idea of age or model - if there are any Trickers experts I can post the codes written on the inside - not sure which are the model and which are the last.

MoK, my Tricker's Tetbury wingtips have the following written inside:

872238
6232/1
TETBURY
8.5.

style: 6232/1 TETBURY
size: 8
fitting: 5
last: 4537

I would agree with you, but in fact not, as I pulled them up to better show the shoes. You can check the full shot here :

An elegant and sophisticated look. Where I work even the senior managers walk around with their shirt tails hanging out. Young old fogey perhaps, but to me lazy dress sense = lazy mind! Throw in a dose of lazy communication (e-mail) = modern workplace. P.O.E.T.S. day.

I'm off to the pub.

Those are very nice. Are they bespoke or RTW?

Bottom line: Silvestro Shoes are highly recommended.

Guys,

Many months ago, Paolo from Silvestro introduced his company to this thread. Impressed by the way he handled questions and by the website (see link below), I ordered a pair"”Goldoni in the 30711 last in Antique 113. My verdict: elegant last, beautiful leather and finish, meticulous workmanship. Excellent service, too. I'm eagerly awaiting two more pair, Machiavelli 2 and Pavese.

On sizing: I recommend consulting the third "male" row (Italian flag) of the chart linked below. I'm a fairly consistent 10½ US, and since most charts convert that size to a 43.5 or 44 Euro, I originally ordered a 44"”which were too big. No problems exchanging, and my new pair of 43 fit perfectly.

Paolo's email and phone are on the website. Feel free to pm me if I'm not responding to thread questions.

(Notes: pictures were taken after wearing them a day and in varied lighting; and I have no relationship with Silvestro...just an average SF dude.)

Best,

ETB

My new Bally Scribe Aken in tan (have them in black too but haven't gotten around to taking pics of them yet). Both the leather the construction are fantastic. I could not be happier with them.

I have a pair of Mezlan shoes like those but they are tanner in color and not so dark. Since they are Mezlan they are not as fancy as those Bally's you have.
