I know it is heresy and I do like Wing Tips but I do not like these much. I like Brogues more chunky and rounded, with the leather punching stronger. If they look close to a Derby, I would rather just wear a Derby. This is just me but at that price I would rather some Cheaney or equivalent Brogues with a more British country style.

No, not heresy M. Shape wise they do look more reminiscent of an Allen Edmonds Macneil rather than a Florsheim imperial.
I like my gunboats clunky,the leather looks good on the JS though.
Yes the leather looks nice and I like the colour.
What's the width size?
Not impressed with these at all,
was dubious when they appeared on the Rancourt site but seeing them in the flesh at JS really put me off.
The leather is great quality, so's the construction BUT the shape looks wrong for a long-wing IMHO
Armchaired Dear Boy... Can't see these as yet from my vantage point?
What the divil is going on with the visuals?
Do you need me to step in and moderate?
I can do Tuesdays and Thursday a.m.....actually cancel Thursday a.m. - it's my tantric yoga class.. got taken away on a stretcher after the last one you know...but I remain ever hopeful as to it being an excellent career move....thanks for asking...
Are these made in the USA? If so £395 doesn't seem too bad as you would pay that for a pair of AE McNeills.
Like Hepster I would be interested to know the width.
