These are a cute specator shoe, or were you thinking of something more like this, Jesse?

Damn, I do love a spectaator shoe. Not sure what persuaded me to go stripper when I bought the first pair, though. They beat saddle shoes because I think in most cases the white toe is a less good look.

I want black and a medium brown. I've seen one vintage pair, not in my size.

I would love it if this shoe were available as a spectator.

t edit Oh, man. These are not exactly my style, but they're still amazing: [link]

These, too: [link]

Are men's two tone shoes like that also called spectators? I realize that I am the person who should know, but I do not.

Yes--and then there are saddle shoes which are kind of a flip, meaning the toes are light instead of dark.

I love saddle shoes! I have two pair. And I also have two pair of identically colored (pink and oxblood) spectator pumps from Fluevog though they are slightly different styles.

Thanks ita-- I am always calling them two tone. I've never purchased any, just made them out of wing tip shoes with carefully controlled shoe dye/floral spray.

Now I am missing my student who was good for nothing, but for some reason he excelled at masking off areas on shoes that were not to be painted. I hate doing it and am much more likely to rely on luck.

You intrigue me. I wonder if I could make the black/brown specators?? Or really, I'd probably be more likely to ruin them instead.

I just had the most awesome shrimp lightly sauteed in olive oil and garlic and organic herbs served over angel hair pasta. It was so light and delicious and PERFECT.

Also, new hot boy at work tried to engage me in a "why math is more important to humanity than English Lit" argument.

Though, I think he was just pulling my pigtails.
