Anyone have experience with these Savile Row shoes?

I can't find much info on the brand, but the color and look are interesting. I like the profile - definitely more English than Italian. And it competes with the Mercanti Fiorentini at DSW in terms of price.





I see that they're an English company, but at those prices, I'm skeptical of their stuff actually being made in England. I can't find out where, though. All the shoes on Savile Row's website appear to be benchmade, but there's a lot of latitude in what constitutes "benchmade".

Also, it's a distinct color and I really like it, but I already have a pair of wingtips in pretty much the same color. I understand that a cobbler can professionally dye them, but how much does something like that run?

no experience, but those look fantastic. I might want tp pick one up....but I told myself I will never buy shoes for the next 25 years

Picky, I know, but the hardware appears gold. That is a definite no for me. I do like the color, though. And have nothing helpful to add, Alan
