Could you get away with wearing it?

absolutely. the two-tone combination isn't contrasty, making then a bit more sober.
i'd be straight down the supermarket in those.

I agree, they're easier to wear than more contrasting spectator shoes. These seem "normal" from afar, and become more and more intriguing as you get closer.

Here's an English shoe called, I believe, "The Falkirk." Unfortunately, I don't know anything more about it. Dandified to the limit. Would you say that it goes overboard? Could you get away with wearing it?

I wish I could find this shoe I'd buy it today. Help!!

Oh God! I want those. And in black and white, oooh and purple and black. Those are awesome.

Unfortunately, the "Falkirk", a British shoe, only comes in the color combination above. The price, as I recall it, is several thousand dollars.

They are mislabeled. In fact, they're cap-toe spectator shoes, known in Britain as "co-respondent" shoes.

Looks like Brooks Brothers re-labeled them as such, due to someone on these boards?

Edward Green makes the Falkirk and it's priced under 1k. EG offers MTO, for a nominal charge, where you can choose any colors that you wish.

MTO=Made to order

You are right, and I'm grateful for the correction.

My memory is no great shakes either, the reason I remember the Falkirk is that I've had them on my feet. When Paul Stuart carried EG they would have incredible end of season blowout sales, with EG's at 70% off. Somehow, I could never pull the trigger on the Falkirk, to my great regret. :eusa_doh:
