Help with Allen Edmond Shoes - Neumok vs Strandmok in Camel Suede - Buying today!

[jazzneel]

Hi,

I need some help! I am getting either the Strandmok or Neumok in Camel Suede since AE is having their 30% off factory seconds sale and not sure which one to pick. I want this to be a dressy casual shoe that I can wear to the office with my sport coat but also going out with friends (whenever that starts happening) and such with a polo.

They honestly both look very similar to me with the obvious difference being that Neumok is a Wingtip and the Strandmok is not. I know the Neumok is the suede version of the McAllister and the Strandmok is the casual version of the Strand, but that doesn't really help me decide.

Any help? AE is holding the shoes for me today so I need to purchase by 3pm CST.

Thank you all!

Honestly, I think they are pretty much the same. I would just as soon tell you to flip a coin. The Strandmok design is based on the Strand, but the suede will skew both options toward the dressy/casual side of things evenly.

I'm thinking Neumok but I will ask for pictures before deciding. Hopefully I'm making the right choice, and since they do seem so similar, it probably doesn't matter lol.
