Split Toe Derby

[vriche]

I am curious to know if there is any much difference in color between Mahogany Utah (left one OT loafers) and Chestnut Utah (right one Y shoes which I got today).
I also have the Saddle brown hatch grain CGMTO order with Yeossal which will take few weeks and that’s completely different which is good.
Does it warrant to have both (Mahogany and Chestnut Utah) or instead choose Janus polo suede for the SpTD? Any inputs will be appreciated.

Besides the fact that Polo suede looks really good albeit a little less versatile due to the lighter shade but I’d say go with that. Plus you mentioned that you don’t currently have a suede SpTD, say no more. My next pair is also in suede since I don’t have one neither but I went with Janus dark brown.

I'll just echo what many posters have already said.. suede SpTD is a must! I find polo suede to be a little less versatile than a snuff or dark brown, but still great nonetheless

As they are not a Split Toe Derby shoe but boots, I wonder if the Louis by Cobbler Union would be admitted in this thread...

SpTBs work just as well on the thread. I don't believe there would be any objections.
