Here are seven (including a monk & suede for you) but I do have a pair in the works that perhaps will replace one of these.

Those are some gorgeous shoes. How about adding a caption next to each so we (i.e. the newcomers) know what they are? Thanks!

Thank you. These seven all happen to be from the folks at Cleverley. They are (from top to bottom):

1. an antique chestnut Adelaide oxford shoe
2. a brown buckskin Balmoral (galosh-type) oxford
3. a black calf stitched toe oxford shoe
4. a burnished London tan full brogue with thistle medallion
5. a black calf quarter brogue oxford shoe
6. an antique chestnut single-eyelet monkstrap shoe
7. a chocolate brown cap toe oxford shoe

The brown shoes look unworn. Maybe you should give them a good home.

I'd have to double check but I believe they were made from me in the late 1980's or early 1990's! Believe me, they have seen their share of pavements...and are a pretty good testament to how well made and well cared for shoes can last a very long time.

Pretty sure 3 & 4 are both G&G bespoke, north of $3K.
