You're wrong. They're narrow. I know; I've tried them.

EDIT: I like those Drummonds. Maybe a medallion-less wingtip like that should be on my list.

Don't think so, only branding on them is a picture of a hammer. They're cedar though and smell almost as nice as the shoes.

No......I think buying narrow shoes (english) is about as easy to do as it is to find left handed gold clubs.

True, but wides are equally difficult. I do have left-handed golf-clubs, though. I'll sell them to you...

I've really liked the Church's I bought last week so I picked these up today. The sole is the same as my black wingtips which is very comfortable for the city.

I think they'll look great with winter pants that are hemmed to the lengths I prefer.

Four days since the last shoe damage content! I just got these special orders in today and admit to being very impressed with their elegance:

Sorry for the quick & dirty flash pic. Anyone have a guess as to their creator?

Not sure, but I don't think they're JL - maybe C&J or Cleverley?

Those Mantellassi's came from our own discostu of virtualclotheshorse. I picked up the same pair -- fanTASTIC shoes, beautiful in person, wonderfully comfortable.

judging from the medallion and the shoe laces, i'd guess Ferragamo.
