No. Tricker's had them on their summer shoes this year - several designs and colours.
Jones the Bootmaker had red soled dirty bucks a couple of years back, picked up a pair in the Gordon Scott sale.
We still have a Gordon Scott branch in Watford, now just a shadow of its former self. In reality just a branch of Jones The Bootmaker.

Quite splendid, and reinforcing my prejudice that when it comes to brick-soled footwear, vintage is pretty much the only sensible route to take. The vast majority of current options just aren't quite up to the mark, unless anyone knows different.
There are these from (whisper it) *lden, but I'm sure there will be many nay-sayers who will tell me how dreadful they are:

no, not dreadful, but expensive....
What? How much? Well, they must think some arse will pay it.

oh, and i must warn you all that you are being Inane. refer to them as suede upper buck-styled oxford bluchers or suede upper-ed saddle buck oxfords as the case may be.im getting so sick of having to lay down the law here. i feel like saying the magic word again. Inane!
