+1, if it wasn't suede. Captoe + oxford = too much contradiction of suede's informality imo.

I'm dying for a good suede monk/dbl monk... bring the Mora back please.

(Sure, I'd kill for a pair of Oundle's in suede but $$$ and as all the Brit shoes are too-wide for my b-width feet short of custom).

I would go for the Player's shoe from Allen edmonds. Very nice looking shoe, 2 shades of brown to choose from.

Funny, that's exactly why I like suede balmorals - that combination of formality and informality. I prefer them to suede wingtips and longwings. Though I'm sure it's against "Da Rules."

I like the Player's Shoe a lot.

I really want a pair in Dark Brown and in Blue but I can't find a pair at a reasonable price.

I don't pay retail for AEs (or anything for that matter).

Does anyone know where I could hunt for these at a discount?
