The guy in that photo is gay as fuck. Study the body posture of him and the girl.

Not saying anyone here is gay or looks gay for wearing them, just making an observation of the flamer in the photo. Red bedroom shoes are completely out of my scope and knowledge in fashion. I need to see it pulled off cause my mind is drawing a blank. Just like the red pants.

What are your opinions on leather soled vs rubber soled loafers?

RE: Let's talk shoes
I like the current selection of shoes here. This board has some great fashion sense however, wouldn't velvet shoes be a no no at the bar? My shoes usually get fucked up when I go out at night. People step on my shoes or liquids on the floor will stain them.

How would you keep expensive shoes clean when you go out? Leather/suede/velvet especially.

Pretty sure Ali was trolling. He's good like that.

Probably so, my exposure to trolling at the level of Ali is limited so I am bound to make some mistakes now and then.

I really want to know the outfits you wear these shoes with. I have honestly never considered buying a pair of boots outside of work related reasons.

RE: Let's talk shoes
I wear these Allen Edmonds boots (In black) with dark blue skinny jeans from Uniqlo, and a well fitting button-down shirt from zara. I also wear a matching black belt. I put metal taps into the front and back of my shoes. Metal lasts longer than rubber, and you also sound like a boss when you're walking in them. The second pair came with a leather sole, so I had a rubber sole placed over it. I like to wear these when I walk around Manhattan, so the rubber will help the shoes last longer.

I also have a pair of these in "bourbon calf" color, which I'd wear with the same thing as listed above:

Not trolling, and no idea who that is, but I'm certain he has had a lot of cock in his mouth.

Ali, he's in the rolling Stones. You might be confusing him with Jagger who has gobbled some cock. That being said, he's definitely fucked more 10s than anyone on this board, Ron Wood too.

I don't know anybody who could pull off red leather shoes, so you have a point. Rock stars play by different rules.

With those on I can't walk into a high end store without having store personnel scrambling to get to me first.

Most girls though can't tell they are Gucci because they don't have a large tacky logo splashed over them.

pics or links to which ones you got? I'm in the market for at least a pair, did you buy them online? trying to find the best place to buy a pair.

You will get a lot of wear out of those shoes. I have a similar shoe, although a wingtip, in the same colour.

I put in a pair of coloured laces to give them some "pop" and I get a lot of looks and comments.

RE: Let's talk shoes
What are your guys thoughts on Mark McNairy? I love some of his stuff, but I'm not into his more extreme stuff with Zebra prints and such. Some of his colored sole stuff is ok, but I prefer one without colored soles.

These wingtips with tweed that he did with Bodega are my favorites. Love to have a pair.

[Image: bodega-mark-mcnairy-country-brogue-boot-...00x333.jpg]

Went to a store here in BKK yesterday that has McNairys, though not the ones above. If I would have gotten there 2 days earlier they had a 50% off sale on all of them to celebrate the opening of a new store. My girlfriend would have bought me a pair for sure. Missed out.

The quality of McNairys seemed very good to me. They were heavy and had thick suede/leather. Seemed they would last a very long time.

RE: Let's talk shoes
Good advice about the cedar trees. Even if you don't have a set for each pair, having a couple is good as the most critical time to have them in is the first hours after taking them off.

I have more than a few pair of shoes, but these are the ones I wear most often today. Keep in mind I'm a mostly blazer, trousers, jeans, suit guy.

@coopers317, have you got a link for those wingtipped brogues? They look quality.

If you have a nordstroms where you live you may be able to find them there too. Not cheap, but definitely a quality good looking shoe.

FYI... the 2 monks in the pics are Magnanni, the black oxford is To Boot also, and the chucka boot is Cole Haan...the are plenty of other names out there, but these are my standard go-to names for shoes

RE: Let's talk shoes
For guys in Europe,
I recently got a tip from a friend who has worked 3 years in a high end shoe store and is somewhat of a fetishist to check out Masssimo Dutti. He assured me the quality was very decent for the price and the models were nice.

I wasn't disappointed! I needed new shoes and got these for 135 euro:

For other models:

The buzz on style forum:

I'm 20, student, based in Amsterdam. I do daygame mostly (major inspiration: Yad). I'm glad to show any forum member around the city or exchange experiences over skype.
