Looks good. I believe Barney's shoes are made by Campanile, which does quality work. For a summer casual beater, you could do a lot worse.

Not sure who makes that PTB, but a lot of Barney's made in Italy shoes are made by Harris (or at least used to be):

This Franceschetti suede chukka looks pretty great for $238:

Thoughts on these Suede PTB's from Barneys as summer shoes with khakis?

IMO bucks like this are hard to pull off with khakis as they are too close to each other on the color wheel. Idk why it matters with this look in particular as I think there are plenty of brown shoes / brown pants combos that work, but whenever I wear bucks with khakis I just think I look like an idiot. I think they look significantly better with navy chinos or jeans.

I don't agree. Lighter khakis are a fine pairing.
