I have not been on board with the oxford trend but I really like this shoe. I am tempted to order the lighter color for fall.

Thanks for sharing AG.

I also like the lighter brown best. How about weird in a cool way?

Hmm interesting shoe, I also need a "both" button. How many oxfords do you have Una?

Cool.

I haven't seen those exact buckles but I had Docs with a buckle closure in the 80s. LOVED them.

Actually a lot of designers had this retro ski closure all over FW 2011.

Darn it! Zappos and 6pm continue to refuse to let Indians in! I wanted to see the buckled oxfords, because they sound like fun x-(

I had shoes very similar to these and loved them (although they often got Pilgrim comments). I say cool.

They look very steampunk to me. Is that a look you're ever drawn to in moderation?

I like them, myself! But I do still have a soft spot for chunky shoes.

Both! I love the lighter color especially, and if I didn't already have a pair of brown oxfords, I'd buy them. I think they suit you.

Wow. I fully expected these to get panned. I love them because of the steampunk element (Traci, you are so right!). Not sure I need them, but I do have a brown shoe wardrobe hole...

Scarlet, they are clunky, but I love clunky shoes. I'm slowly consigning my more girly shoes except the ones that function with formalwear.

Thanks for responding!
