What do you think of these shoes?

[mayathebee]

On the advice of this thread I have bought some black cigarette trousers from H&M to wear for work. I really want some brogues to wear with them but black brogues make me feel like I am wearing school shoes. I thought oxblood would be nice and found these - what do you think? Are they okay for work? They are a bit outside my comfort zone so I'd appreciate any views. My other option was tan/brown but I'm not sure they don't look a bit casual with black trousers.

These would look fab with black cigarette trousers imo

Vagabond do a lovely burgundy brogue, I think it is suede though rather than leather. I also love the Rogue Matilda brogues, although they are £££. I may or may not be browsing Hamble Oak brogues on Amazon now... 😁 I don't live in the UK but I found some good brogue brands on Amazon.

These look pretty! And subtle. I love these threads!!

Don't buy loafers. Personally they remind me of an old persons shoes. Sorry! Brogues all the way.

I've just found these. They are leather and the colour is nicer but I'm not sure if I like the style as much. I've looked at too many pairs now. I think I'll leave it and order them in the morning.

VioletWillow and SuperstarDJ - I'll check those out, thanks.

ConkerTriumphant - that's reassuring. They sound gorgeous.

SD1978 Love those mod shoes.

SD1978 - they are lovely! I'm finding lots of great new shops and sites.

Never - thanks. I like the colour but I'm not keen on the sole.

I have a pair of clarks hamble oak and they are lovely. Not sure if they do them in oxblood anymore but I have them in lots of colours!

SD1978 I love the Mod shoes site! I have bookmarked that for a second look. I am talking myself into needing the stomper and the vintage suede green brogues... heavenly!

I know what you mean @May about the sole. I do like the mod ones though. Lovely.

and I take it back about the loafers as I love these but these are an exception:

They look fine but I would encourage buying a better quality pair. If you look foyr sonething that I high quality leather and elegantly made then it won't feel like school shoes.

cheaney the ultimate in brogues

Never - I agree about the Mod ones and the loafers. I am very jealous of your oxblood hamble oaks.

I have cheaney Olivia boots and they are amazing. So beautiful and last and last.

The hamble oaks are extremely comfortable. I have wide feet and bunions and they are great. They still do them in black patent. They are lovely too and they look nice and neat on.

I posted this thread the other day - I’m tempted by a pair of oxblood brogues here:

Loafers aren't 'old people shoes'

Are these any good OP? Similar colour to the ASOS but don't have the brogue 'pattern'

Sleep They tend to be where I live.
Although if you read my post beneath that one it did say I take it back but only as long as they are funky loafers.

...and I am technically an 'old' person @50 but wouldn't wear loafers unless funky and chunky.

...and before anyone bites my head of I am saying old about myself, not anyone else at 50.

It's still not true Never even for ones you personally don't think are 'funky'

I bought a pair of similar patent shoes from ASOS (derby's not brogues) and they cut my feet up so much I couldn't wear them
