I have realized lately that my wardrobe has a severe deficit of leather lace-ups. I need to expand this territory a bit.. I'll be picking up at least one pair sometime soon here, but I want to look around a bit first. I might end up paying full retail. This is a situation where I don't mind it if it ensures that I get a pair of extremely nice shoes.
Was hoping for a black low-cut, sleek plain-toe or whole cut. However it's been difficult to find some that aren't either too boring nor too adventurous
Hopefully this thread will be of used to others out there, and we can pool together some good pics/links.
Anyway, I know some of you (GS, Rye, SoCal) have a closet stacked with nice shoes so any input would be greatly appreciated. So far things I've found that I like are:
Paul Smith - $453 from Blue Beetle
Really nice, though I haven't really entirely warmed up to the idea of brogues. Though they would probably go well with Thick as Thieves trousers. Sockless, of course.
Acne - $424 from Blue Beetle
These are probably the closest I could find to what I'm after, as of now.
Fiorentini + Baker - £160 from SOLE
I'm mainly only looking for black shoes but these were cool enough I thought I'd share. I'm assuming the leather is pretty soft and wouldn't stay permanently creased up around the ankle there.
