    They are extremely nice looking shoes for formal wear. I like them a lot.

    I would have to agree with Sandford these would work wonderfully for formal wear not really right with a polo shirt.

    Those are really very nice.

    Very nice for formal wear. Are they straight lasted, and are they comfortable? Cheers!

    I think, my taste, I prefer these to the patent leather with the lower buckle! Maybe even to the ghillie for all around.

    Technically speaking, wouldn't they be more traditional than even the pumps? They would have been circa 17th and 18th centuries?

    Thank you for reviewing them. This is interesting, and I will keep them in mind.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
