Wells is a not so popular model from John Lobb Paris. And its last is not popular as well.
Let us check this pair of shoes.
Last
The last information is behind the size, 0215. I don’t think myself an expert on John Lobb lasts and 0215 does not remind me anything.
From the top view, I feel the toes are too sharp. And the elongation is quite obvious. Don’t forget this pair is already EE width, which means it is wider than the default setting. I just don’t know what kind of feet fits into this last.
Pattern
I caught two design points on this pair.
First is the strap on the tongue, it is not called penny loafer as there is not slot for penny, and the suede leather add more fun to the shoes.
The other is the colour, it is not black, not really blue or green, but a colour called midnight which is a colour may be always associated with banquet. As under the artificial light, real black will reflect the light and become sheen, but midnight blue becomes black which is what is really called for under the circumstance.
Leather
The creases are quite fine; however, the leather feels very dry even I conditioned it several times already.
The suede leather of strap must be Janus from tannery C.F.Stead, the best one.
Fit
This pair is unlined for comfort, however I don’t feel too much.
Conclusion
A pair of dinner shoes disguise into strap loafers.
类似GG款我曾有过一双，问题是这个loafer虽为休闲款但对着装的正式感要求高，比如去维也纳看歌剧什么的。皮质上，两家都是上乘的皮料，JL会厚一点，GG的皮薄一些，个人更喜欢gg的薄皮给人传达的柔软和舒适（并没有牺牲强度）。
你这难道不是Antibes吗？这个Pump的味道没我这双重。
确实是看似休闲，其实对衣服正式程度要求更高了，包括白天穿，都会觉得不合适。
对，不适合国情的一款设计。
我们这群爱好者都是不符合国情的存在。。。。。。
这款真不错。蓝色即便休闲穿也不突兀，上一个吸烟装就可以做礼服鞋，完美了。
