Spring is just around the corner, and if you haven’t started building up your wardrobe, now is the perfect time to start.  Along with boatshoes, loafers, and cap toes, a must have for any warm weather wardrobe is a great pair of bucks.  Traditionally worn in lighter colors and featuring a brick red sole, a simple pair of bucks will serve you well for years and years as long as you treat them well, and buy a well made pair from the get go.  If you are looking to really blow it out, take a look at the Derby Classics ($225) by Walk-Over.

Walk-Over claims that they were the shoe industry’s first “brand name”.  With roots dating back to 1758, we wouldn’t doubt it.  Available in 7 colors, the Derby Classics offer a few options that are sure to please everyone.  From simple classics like White, and Dirty Buck, to more bold choices like Navy and Nantucket Red, we are definitely thinking about adding more than one pair to our collection this summer.  The high quality suede upper and calfskin lining of these shoes paired with impeccable, handmade, craftsmanship make these bucks a choice that will be a mainstay in your warm weather wardrobe for years to come.  Also, just a friendly reminder, just like boat shoes, bucks tend to look best without socks.  If you decide that Walk-Over’s are the bucks for you, you will probably need to phone in your order to one of their two US retailers, from what we hear, you shouldn’t have any problems.
