I've spent 4 full days searching for an aesthetically pleasing pair of brown shoes to go with my dark gray suit and the chinos from my incoming CLADmen haul. I've scoured the internet as well as brick and mortar stores, the likes of Nordstrom, Burberry, Johnston & Murphy, Burberry had the only thing close to what I was looking for but it wasn't in my size and it had brogueing on it.
I finally found a pair I like: http://www.forzieri.com/usa/product_view.asp?l=usa&c=usa&dept_id=75&sku=me4331 11-007-02
Does anyone have experience with Moreschi shoes? These should be resolable, right? Are they too dark for these chinos: http://www.cladmen.com/flat-front-co...teen-pant.html , http://www.cladmen.com/flat-front-stretch-cotton-chinos.html
My girlfriend doesn't seem to find these shoes very attractive, and I can't blame her for a while I didn't like monk straps either, but I've never been in the market for a casual shoe before ordering the above chinos. I'm usually quite confident in my fashion sense, but I've always detested the colour brown, so I'm a little out of my element here. The Moreschi brown suede monk strap shoes are nice men's shoes, right?
I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows of any other shoes that meet the requirements of my desperate search: Dark brown/Mahogany/Burgundy shoes to match the above chinos and a dark gray suit, so they must stride the line between formal and casual. Ideally a Monk Strap. Must come in a US 7.5. Must not be of a Goodyear Welt construction or so cheap that the upper is glued to the sole. The shoe should be of Bologna or Blake construction, or any other construction where the bottom of the shoe is not wider than the leather upper. and 500$ is probably about as much as I'm willing to spend.
TL;DR: Do the linked shoes match the linked pants? Are Moreschi shoes worth 500$?
