Very nice job with the suede textures, laces and colors, but they seem a bit too chunky and almost comical if you want realistic looking shoes. If you like exaggerated, these are great. If you want realistic suede, you may want to try Hoorenbeck.

Perhaps I didn’t make it clear in what I wrote, Lief Ihnen. There are in fact two different brands being reviewed here. Yes, one is chunky and fun but the other is more serious and realistic… that was the whole point of the review.
The “Hoorenbeck” of which he speaks is at JT World VI (125, 27, 22). The shoes are realistic with a slickly polished sheen. There are no lace-ups available, but the sculptie Davit boots in particular show great stitching and attention to detail. Hoorenbeck doesn’t provide demo versions to try on, but there are sample shoes rezzed for you to zoom in on, and if you buy, you receive three sizes. Hoorenbeck shoes are only a little more expensive than Shiny Things and Perfect Tomorrows: loafers at L$360 and boots at L$420.
And if we’re mentioning other realistic shoes, we mustn’t omit the amazing Eponymous Trenchmouth’s Jeepers Creepers Shoe Shop, or JCS, which is at Tean (240, 87, 24).

I still love my “Carl Perkins” from Jeepers Creepers. They are by far the best I have seen in SL so far, and they work great with the trenchcoat from casa del Shay.

OK, after re-reading the blog post for the – uhmm – 5th tme last night, I finally went and bought me a light brown pair of the Murphies. They’re damn good.
