Rest assured, I am not a man of particularly opulent fancies. Rather, I pride myself with the lack of trinket-adorning in which I do partake. Nevertheless, I do love these shoes. Simple, elegant, made for wear and priced right. Crafted in England by Loake, handmade or so they claim. I've just ordered the dark brown number (try and find these stateside, I had no such luck), do hope they fit!
