I have the Uppingham 2 in Racing Green ordered for delivery in July. I have thought and rethought this many times since paying my deposit. I hope it turns out well but I have no idea what to wear with it

A double Dainite sole is usual but can be requested as single Dainite. Personally I like it because it still keeps the shoes looking sleek.
