Ordered from Shoe Mart. I also have some NSTs in ravello I bought from them. It's my favorite shell color. I used to think it was whiskey until I bought ravellos, and now I'm hooked on ravellos.

Gorgeous shoes by the way. Darlton?


There was a sale. They were included in the recent RL Private Sale. They were 30% off with an additional 15% kicker.

Great rotation, I'd add a dark brown suede as well.

I'd add a more casual **** kicker - maybe scotch grain bluchers or split-toes. Or are you only talking about balmorals here?

Oh, these are just the half brogues, since they're the type that I have the widest range in colors. Nevertheless, I should look for some scotch grain ones.

Nothing limited about that! That's a fine lineup you have there.

I'd be happy with only those 5 shoes in my rotation.

Just got my first pair of proper shoes, so I figured I should finally post here after lurking for quite a while. Any recommendations on shoe polish for these?

Now that the charming MA fall is finally here, I went looking for a pair of knockaround shoes and stumbled upon these puppies.
Malvern by AE on dainite soles. Got so impressed by their A&S/C&J-ish look and workmanship that ended up paying full retail
