Yeah blue shoes look great with grey pants.I'd darken them slightly - a bit bright for me. Then I'd pair them with a navy blazer and grey flannels.

On you, Roger, I could see it! You're still young enough and have the requisite panache to deal with this aesthetic. Sadly, we are not all so blessed.Yeah blue shoes look great with grey pants.
I've thought about men who have a greater foot size to height ratio and the very issue you highlight. Indeed, I've likely joined them. Having shrunken to somewhere around 5'8", and having a size 11 foot, it has become noticeable in some instances. I have a pair of Cheaney chukkas on their slightly elongated 125 last, and as I was sitting on my internist's exam table, he glanced down and remarked, "Gee, you've got pretty big feet!"I wear blue suede loafers and wingtips regularly but I can’t imagine being able to wear those even though they are amazing. Partially it is the boldness of the color but also it’s just that I generally can’t pull shoes like that off. The biggest reason for that being that I look like a clown in anything more than a slightly elongated last. I’m a little over 5’9” and I wear a size US 12 D or E. Although my heel is more of a B/C width. I’m other words I have duck feet.![]()
I could have used that guy's advice back in the day, when I was expected to keep a mirror shine on my duty shoes and boots. But alas, that train has left the station.Article by Justin F about Septieme Largeur expanding into Asia - some amazing patination on show. https://www.theshoesnobblog.com/2019/09/septieme-largeur-expands-to-vietnam.html
Agreed and, once again, I can almost feel the keystrokes be pressed by @RogerP as he puts in his order. Those look so him.^^
A rather magnificent twist on the cap toe boot design. Small, seemingly insignificant changes can make such a big difference!![]()
Come on, tell us the truth, you're thinking about them. In between those super-smart lawyer thoughts you have, you're thinking, "darn those are nice boots," "wouldn't mind having a pair..."Agreed with the above - these were an inspired makeup. The red-brown suede insert for the shaft takes these boots from good to great.
Exactly.The red-brown suede insert for the shaft takes these boots from good to great.
Oh I would rock those in a heartbeat - no doubt about it! And I don't have a true dress boot in a medium-dark brown..... Yeah, it's not hard to talk myself into a pair!Come on, tell us the truth, you're thinking about them.

You're only a mental click or two away from a website click to buy.Oh I would rock those in a heartbeat - no doubt about it! And I don't have a true dress boot in a medium-dark brown..... Yeah, it's not hard to talk myself into a pair!

In full disclosure, the image was purloined from Ascot Shoes. (Which I suspect is already known.)You're only a mental click or two away from a website click to buy.
Here's my call, a man who can argue in front of the Canadian Supreme court can find where to buy those boots if they are for sale somewhere on earth.In full disclosure, the image was purloined from Ascot Shoes. (Which I suspect is already known.)
The MTO makeup was not attributed, but as the majority of their offerings appear to be Vass,, that is to whom I attributed them. Possible it could be another maker, St. C, etc.
As I know the owner of those boots, that would not be a difficult task.Here's my call, a man who can argue in front of the Canadian Supreme court can find where to buy those boots if they are for sale somewhere on earth.
Get both, then.Very similar to the boots in post #407, these have slightly different and lighter hides, and an open throat. And I think I may like them even better.
