I just love them and am almost ready to "checkout", but would you wear these with a suit?
Charcoal or dark navy?

Yes. A nice pair of bluchers is a great way to dress down a suit a little bit.

I think you can definitely wear them with a suit. Far worse these days is passable. You can wear them with any darker grey or blue. Just not black.

Animal thug, was it a "sleek" looking shoe or was it a bit "conservative"?. Am really hoping for the former..

Those are Marteganis, right? If you're getting them off eBay, I think the same seller has those shoes on the B&S forums for (probably) a lower price forgoing eBay fees ($220, IIRC). And yes, since they're not really clunky bluchers, I think they'd pass off fine with a suit.

sure - you'd have to check them w/the charcoal you have in mind, not all of it works.

Hi,
please would you let me know the relevant thread?
I would rather pick them up from an SF member.
