look good.

where did you find that?
the bass website does't have anything like that on there...

cheers.
just seen the the Bass EU website is much better.

I'm in two minds about these. At first sight they look rather interesting and the proximity of a (presumably) attractive female in the lower picture may count as something of a promise. But then I wonder about brogueing on a mocc — is this a stroke of genius or simply a silent mess? From what I can see, the facings are rather short compared to the toe, something that many cheaper brands don't seem to get right. Throws a shoe right out of balance. Barring the Weejuns, the rest of Bass's current range doesn't look too encouraging, too naff, something you might buy at a mall. A bit like Florsheim or Grenson.

I don't dislike the originals,  I nearly brought a pair last year,  I just think these look nicer- little details like having the grained and smooth patches swapped around and the soles as well?

The 'pebble grain' leather on these is not good,
it's the same stuff they did those limited edition loafers for Mr Porter in and it's the pebble grain equivalent of their current shiny crap.
The soles look good tho.

^ it's a real pity, love the shape and soles but I'm very hesitant to part with cash (they are gonna be about £120rrp).

Worth keeping an eye on the US Bass website, more 'made in USA' styles are being added for Fall/Winter, a little bit pricey but the leather (Horween sourced) and manufacturing quality  (Rancourt are making them for Bass) marks them out as having potential.

^ I ended up getting two pair of them (in the Nordstrom's sale, which is still on by the way) on your recommendation Bop.
I heartily concur on the grippy-ness of the sole.

Don't want to start a new thread but Bass have some new stuff on the EU site;

These look good-

^ heartily concur with Leer, they've got the look sorted but the quality can be a bit 'shonky'.
If the shoes at the flagship store in London are anything to go by, the only quality looking shoes were the £290 'handstitched' Horween leather limited editions.
What I find a bit weird is their pricing, as you can get all the same shoes from the USA at Nordstroms ( and a few other other online stores) and they still come in cheaper (including post, customs and duty).
