Fabric dress shoes? Fabric dress shoes.

[_MementoMori_]

I saw these on toms.com while shopping for my wife. I think they are DEAD. SEXY.

What do you guys think? I'm seriously considering buying a pair very very soon.

I think they look nice enough, but the color and the fact they are fabric would be enough to dissuade me. I'm the worst when it comes to getting light colored clothes/shoes dirty. My wife has to keep a good supply of stain removal stuff on hand for my khakis. I can't imagine how often I would have to clean these shoes.

But, if you don't have this problem, go for it. They are pretty cool for summer dress shoes.

These light ones are the ones I like the most, but they do have some darker ones as well. All the same, I see your point. I'd probably only wear these when I know I'm going to be indoors only... or at least outside with paved walkways/paths, etc.

Those aren't bad I could see someone wearing them with khakis and a polo...I consider them more casual than dress shoes tho

With that sole and fabric color, definitely something to wear in a relatively clean environment. Not to walk around in on city streets for hours.

From my point of view, these have a simple and classic look, with a modern update and flair. This might sound contradictory, but they are something I would not buy (largely because of the color and my wardrobe) but I do like them.
