It can be of no small coincidence that I was watching “Beau Brummel: This Charming Man” when a package arrived from the ASW Shop. Slipping on the Sloop model in the Janus brown suede was a revelation. The cut is classic and very refined. The slightly squared, elongated toe is particularly appealing and gives the slip-on its elegance. These are shoes for lounging, for living the good life. These shoes are in need of a café and a half carafe or ristretto. Above all, they are in need of a grand love affair. Just be careful. One too many longing glances at your feet may find you, like The Beau, in love with your own image.
Nice shoes. It’s embarrassing how many pairs of brown suede shoes I own…. N.G.
