paul smith thick soled broques aw12

Anything that is thick soled seems to be so nice and right now. Paul Smith's endeavour of combining classic wingtip brogues and thick rubber soles together is not bad afterall. If you think wingtip brogues may look old, these thick soled ones will change your mind.

Update: the bi-tonal version from Matchesfashion (third in the row) is the nicest!

Available at Oki-ni and MrPorter (brown)
