...on the Wing Tips (my Dad wore wing tips)! :thumbsup;

“Shoetini: 4oz GQ fashion, 1oz cool attitude, a splash of indulgence, a twist of temptation; shake over ice, strain into a trendy pair of shoes and garish with lots of accessories”. CBJ

Kinda surprised about the double strap pair.

Kinda surprised about the double strap pair.

I loved the look of them, though.

I don't think I have to worry about leaving any of those to MY grandkids! I don't think all my shoes and boots combined wouldn't come to $2,000!

 

[Toothpick]

I subscribe to the mag and saw this. They are all so beautiful!

Saddleback makes shoes now?!?!

Kinda surprised about the double strap pair.

John Lobb is known for their double monk straps - especially those made in museum calf. I really never had any inclining to own any monk straps, but these make me think twice.....

A marvelous collection.

Can you really get suede shoes to last a generation?

I swear by Bally. Have several pairs, rotate them. Never wear the same shoes 2 days in a row...

Oh my, I'm becoming my father!

Good to hear. I may buy a pair of second hand Bally shoes for 45 euros (€60). Only been worn twice.

Pretty neat, right?
