Piloti Mille just delivered.
Maybe a bit 'speshal' for the office, but first impressions are very comfortable* and should look good with jeans.
* Once I'd relaced them.

Like them. Maybe a bit 'speshal' for the office, but first impressions are very comfortable* and should look good with jeans.

You're not really going to wear them in the office though, right?

Thanks Goaty Bill, I'm very happy with them.
Arrived today:
I've also located some brown suede Joseph Cheaney derby shoes. Unfortunately they are an 8.5 (I'm a 9), we'll see how they go. Worst comes to worst, I'll return them
Cheaney is probably my favourite of the affordable Northampton shoe makers. Two tone brogues are a bit racy for me, but they look good.Arrived today:

Too jazzy!? A favourite of Edward VIII and cricketers as well as Hollywood gangsters and jazz musicians it seems.
Spectator shoes
Personally, I'd be feeling more love for these ones if the tan leather were white
There a quite a few just now with fabric for the contrasting colour. I saw someone wearing a pair the other day. I wasn't impressed at all I'm afraid, though apparently it is a traditional style.
But as previously indicated, I do like the look of the Cheaneys.

Two tone oxford brogue is quite a classic shoe, but rare is the occasion they can be worn without much finger pointing and hilarity. Probably great as an an ice breaker.
I think anyone would get away with the style as a golfing shoe. But, as a 'proper' shoe, with 'normal' clothes, with your pals, in a pub? Stand-by to be mocked mercilessly and forever.

Not an every day shoe for sure, but when properly combined, I think they can look great.They may occasionally attract a little attention, but as you say, "great as an an ice breaker" in social gatherings; it gives people something easy to comment on when you are amongst strangers or people you don't know well.
