I picked up a new pair of shoes the other day from Dr. Martens and am quite pleased with them so far. They are a recent release and are called the Bennett. The sole is slimmer than the usual Airwair, though traditionalists will probably say it is still too thick to be dressy. There is another model that is a small step dressier called the Bronson but I don't think they are available yet in Hong Kong.

Closed laces, plain toe, and very comfortable. Here is picture of mine, though I'm still building up the shine on them. What does everyone think?


Here they are in action on Burn's Night. Not the most appropriate shoes for black tie, but they are the best I had with me here and I think they made do in a pinch.
