Hate boatshoes, so its a obvious no from my side.

Looking for Summer Shoes to go with Shorts. Don't think I can pull off Boatshoes with my wardrobe. 373 vs 574. Or recommend me something else. Thanks in advance

A pile of vomit fits a similar aesthetic

vs.

Both the same price. Need a good spring/summer shoe. The Quoddy's would probably be more versatile (could wear to the office), but the Oak Street's are more unique.

Does anyone have fit pics of the Oak Street trail oxford with shorts? Couldn't find any in their thread.

Appreciate it guys. Just kopped both off of gilt, I think prive has it right now too but slightly more expensive (gilt is 70% off so both cost just a tad over $100).
Will post back re: fit, quality, etc.
Agreed with hendrix re: soles, didn't notice that initially. Hope if i wear them untucked it won't be too obvious

@Lane definitely get that Cloak Blazer, I want it bad but can't afford it, so buy it. (Assuming this is the one tailored to an xs)

Get the raised ones, instead:

why wouldn't it gel? Also, it fits me like a glove methinks. I am waiting for his personal fitpics to finalize the decision.

I don't see it working for you honestly.

Did you get that julius blazer? would be a much better choice, brand synergies aside.

Ascent · May 16, 2011

I think the arm details could work provided it fits him well but its up to him, what Julius blazer were you considering Lane, can you post a picture?

Really tough call between these and the quoddys. I wish i had the $ for both...

JapanAlex01 · May 16, 2011

I don't know, for me, boat shoe soles always wear a little thin after a while, so like the thicker soles here. I think they would rock with shorts?!

herzzreh · May 16, 2011

Cost is $215, to go with regular denim, "regular" color chinos/khakis and maybe shorts...

Opinions? Alternatives? Budget is under $300 (+/- $50).
