Today's Shoes

Day

Alden long wing bluchers in tan Scotch grain calf with a reverse welt and double leather soles (LeatherSoul special edition model, Barrie last). Much as I like these shoes (and I do like these shoes very much), I am forced to the conclusion that they are really only suited for flannels and jeans. They just are too large and clunky to work on ordinary wool trousers.

Evening

Gravati three-eyelet half brogue bluchers with modified U-shaped throat in antiqued tan calfskin with combination leather/rubber soles (16407, 640 last).
