    They will look good. Next best thing to a classic Brogue, having a classic Oxford with a punched decoration on the toe cap.

    As I've aged (like a good whiskey, I hope!) that's the only style I wear much. I found them with a soft vibram sole which gives me support and an awful lot of comfort. At some point in life that becomes more important than almost anything else. If you can be comfortable AND look good . . . bonus!

    Tested the fit with hose on. Good to go!

    However... I noticed the brand new hose were unraveling at the very top.

    Sent an e-mail to the vendor who responded within a half hour, letting me know that they will send me a replacement pair.

    Delighted the shoes are good to go and it looks as though the unfortunate spot of bother with the hose will be sorted out soonest. Have fun!
