Savile Row Co. Wingtip – $69.94 (reg. $160.00)
Huh… looks kinda like these only with snow tires.
DSW is having a 50% off clearance sale and while some of what they’re offering at half price is downright embarrassing, there’s a couple of pairs that might catch your eye.
But as is almost always the case, there’s a reason why something gets marked down this far. With these from Savile Row, it has to be that peeled-off-a-hiking-boot lug sole.
It looks a little more (read: too) aggressive on the cognac and black leather versions, and it’s certainly an oddity to see on suede. But at under $70 with the free shipping code SHIPR (after you sign up for their emails… you can always unsubscribe right away) is the lug sole still a deal breaker? Or… is it a unique detail that’ll fit in come autumn?

From the same site, for 10 dollars more without the lug soles and supposedly made in Italy. I really see no reason to compromise at this price point and settle for lugged soles. If it were $35, I would consider it, but at $70 there are many similar shoes without the seasonal schizophrenia.
They make the wearer look like he just walked in after getting a quick 18 in before work.
Sold out. 🙁
I have a very similair pair from J. Crew. The lug sole is not ideal, and it means I can’t really wear them with dress pants. But, they look pretty good with denim, and I even wear them sockless with shorts from time to time. They definitely lean towards “American” preppy style more so than the sleek Italian style. For that price though, I’d buy them again.
Right. Featured those awhile back and they’ve been sold out for awhile now: http://dappered.com/2011/04/how-to-wear-it-the-under-100-italian-suede-shoe/ They’re about as good as it gets for the price point. Wearing my pair right now and they’ve held up extremely well. Plan is to do a long term test update on them this week.
They also have these in a lighter color suede WITHOUT wingtips at DSW for $39.94 marked down from $160.
In a heartbeat. But, I tend to trek through places in shoes I shouldn’t from time to time
