They are great looking shoes. Every guy should have a pair at sometime. They really add a certain casual style to a blazer or casual suit. I have never owned that brand so I can't speak to their quality.

I like them a lot. I'd rather get the C&J Westfield from Plal for less scratch.

They are there, on the right column next to the catalogue pics. The Westfield is $1199 Malaysian ringgits, which is about $350. Plus shipping. Total is under $400.

Those look about as good as any other pair of suede brogues I've ever seen. I'm personally not flush with desire for one. But I could see those going quite well with mid-grey flannel pants.

they are good shoes, but wait for a sale, and make sure to try them on. being able to try them on is the main advantage over plal. on sale you should be able to get them in the $300s. If they went on ebay they would only go in the $200s

I own them, and I really like them. The color is different than what the website shows, however, and I've found it difficult to get accurate pictures of them. They're made by Alfred Sargent, by the way.

Thanks for all the feedback, they are just great looking shoes. I would wear them with virtually any dark suit btw.
