Other than the fact that they're both light brown wholecuts, those don't look anything like the Berluti shoes on the last page. The last looks entirely different.

The last is quite similar, the previous pic makes the toebox quite fuller whereas this picture is more like the actual look of the toebox ...... will you give me "poor mans Berluti!" ???

Shame. As a Grenson Rose advocate those hinge on AE territory which is not a compliment.

The Bontoni / Berluti styles are a bit too "sleek" for me (my personal style). HOWEVER, I recently had a pair of Bontoni's, and THE ANTIQUING IS INSANE! Very nice work on them. If you're looking for antiquing, Bontoni will DEFINITELY supply four "fix".

Very nice pics, too. Enjoy Them!
