Hello everyone,

Im new to these parts, just moved over to London in September, married to fellow forum member Lyburnum (23 and married, and its actually quite fantastic!)

Anyway, I was really keen on these new rocket originals shoes that just got put up the other day, until I got them today, and they have quite a thick foam sole (EVA), and bear a striking resemblance to Brothel Creepers, so Im sending them back:

Well made but a bit 'repro' looking, and Im looking for something in the £100-150 price range that I could wear with some hollywood slacks and a pendleton shirt. I was thinking of a pair of cap toe oxfords (semi brogued) or just some simple loafers. Any suggestions?

Also, on week 2 of waiting for my Aero jacket... Amanda said 8 weeks, my guess it will be longer.

If you're looking for simple loafers, Bass Weejuns have been around forever. I often wear them with Hollywood waist trousers & gabardine shirt...as I am today.
