So, wanted to resurrect an old thread instead of create a new one.

Looking for some Spectators. I would rather not go the EG Malvern route, as EGs are a big out of my price range, especially for a summer shoe. I was thinking about either the Alfred Sargent Ellington:

Or perhaps the Herring Hyde:

Anybody have any other suggestions?

The other design is what you see in my avatar and that is the pair I decided to keep.

Like these?

I've been wearing them in different casual settings, with khakis and even denim on some occasions.
