Today's Shoes

Day

Martegani perforated wholecut bal in tan calf. Ron Rider's inspiration for this shoe was a John Lobb St. James design, and I think that this one is prettier than the Lobb shoe (although the fact that it's an unlined wholecut with a bunch of perforations may make it more prone to stretching than the Lobb shoe). I don't wear it much, but given the temperatures that we've been seeing, I thought that today would be a perfect day. Alas, even the perforations don't give much relief in this kind of weather.

Evening

Gravati austerity brogue bal in a red-brown Lama calf, Goodyear-welted with a double leather sole (14953, 640 last).
