Sorry for the typo, it's Altan of course !
The upper is made of very nice box calf.

I don't think the brown saddle works with the purple. Black, white, or medium grey would all go better with the base color, IMHO.

It's not brown, it's orange. Like Hermes' orange.

This is not a saddle shoe but a "˜quarter brogue'

eg_berkeley_888_black_1.jpg


Here another 'quarter brogue': different manufacturer, different look, but essentially the same style:
toe cap with row of punching, vamp (forepart), quarters (sidepieces).

As the Ferragamo shoe is in two different colours, that makes him in addition into a "˜spectator' or "˜co-respondent'.

A "˜saddle shoe' has middle section (the saddle) which is frequently, but not always, in a contrasting colour or texture.

Really? It looks light brown to me, like AE's "walnut" shade. To me, this is orange:

Each time I see it at Leffot I beg to purchase it, but Steven refuses to part with it.
