+1. Been wearing suede boots most of the past winter (rain, snow, salt - you name it) without any issues at all. I actually prefer suede to calf when it's wet outside.

Handsome shoes, and fun laces, but you really need to learn how to tie them properly!

How do the Dulwich fit? If I'm an 8.5D should I buy an 8 or 7.5UK?

To me they are tied properly, I agree with you I could care a bit more about this secure knot that my father taught me. And a slight excuse, the laces are new and a bit stiff. But if you have any suggestions, you are welcome.

I have no idea. In UK sizes i have 6 1/2 F on those, they fit perfect; in C&J I have a 6 1/2 E; in G&G a 6 1/2 E; in EG a 6 1/2 or sometimes a 7 E, about a 7 in Berluti and in European Size a 40 1/2 in Vass.
Hope that helps,

Adrian

Those are terrific. Great for summer.

You know what? I've also realized that I prefer the look of oxfords. They *do* look much cleaner.

Mine are dark brown. Probably my photography skills at work again. Sorry.
