Just got these Alfred Sargent Handgrade Brownings in snuff suede from Leffot when I checked out the Trunk Sale last week.



And grabbed these Alden Sand Suede Longwings a few months ago in preparation for Spring/Summer:

I bet those are Aldens from Leather Soul but I could be wrong.

Both bought on Ebay and yet to arrive. Good choices for summer with jeans or cotton pants?

Are they really that bad? I have seen lots of looks with the white ones being worn.

So is it the colour of the AE's or the style? They seemed like pretty standard mocs to me. But then again I am new to this.

They seem fine and standard enough for casual summer days. I wouldn't worry. Wear them well!
