My dog ate my Park Avenue... (time to upgrade)

[makushin]

My dog ate one of my AE park avenues. It is beyond repair. I'm looking for something at a similar pricepoint that is not so bulbous and clunky. I need the replacements in the next 2 weeks and I'm not finding much. Please don't tell me I have to spring for another pair of park avenues, I'm looking at this as an opportunity to replace them with something more sleek. They still need to be an interview type shoe. Any ideas?

(For Sale: 1 Left AE Park Ave 8.5D, excell cond.)

Your not throwing in the dog with the shoe?

If you can go an extra $95, you could get these Marteganis:

Or you could take advantage of Brooks' sale. They have a nice looking pair of perfed captoes for $351. They're out of 8.5 in black online, but you might be able to track a pair down at your local store, or you could buy the wrong size and exchange it later.

for another $400+ or so, you can get a very elegant but avant garde semibrogue from me

one size 8 (fits 8.5D) available.

The 348 last is really pointed. The Audley might be less of a shock to a PA wearer.
