    Alright Vim, just this once we'll make an exception.

    Aesthetically, the Marlton looks OK.....nothing drool worthy, just OK. Of course the quality isn't there but what would you expect at that price-point. I would consider them as a borderline disposable shoe, à la Stacy Adams.

    Well, at roughly 3x the price of the Marlton you can get Allen Edmonds MTO (made to order) with choice of leathers/colors which, because they can be refurbished at the factory, will give you years and years (decades?) of service. Funny thing about shoes, the cheap disposable ones end up being more expensive in the long run.


    And there's always the clearance rack at Brooks Brothers where you can often pick up their Peal & Co. (English made) shoes at a great price but that's hit or miss, especially for specs.

    Can we ask questions about spectators here? Here goes, what is folks' opinion of the modern Florsheim spectators? I've got a pair of their saddle oxfords that I like but if I'm buying a proper two tone spectator is there another brand of shoe I should be looking at instead?
    Also I'm not considering vintage, I just cannot wear vintage shoes for some reason.
    Fair enough. I don't know your size but just buy a pair of Crockett and Jones new. Go to eBay.com and punch in spectators or two tone shoes. http://cgi.ebay.com/Crockett-Jones-B...item53e6fcfd8a http://cgi.ebay.com/Charles-Tyrwhitt...item5198a84b6a

    Funny, the white bucs were not there yesterday, only the white pebble grain wingtips. I guess you really have to watch that site.

    I love this colour combination, so wearable

    I may be tempted to get McLouds to make a pair up for one
