Not really, it is still widely available. Men's department at Tangs and Taka for example.

The socks will still show in certain models though, like my tassel loafers from herringshoes.

Mine's shorter in the front though, it's kind of like these... The ones similar to mine shown below are for ladies unfortunately

It does show a little on the side I guess but I wore mine the same colors as my shoes so don't think anyone made a big fuss yet

Bro, why don't you try to do the patina yourself? I understand that your shoes are like a 'blank canvass' now right?

I would think that the most difficult part of the process would be removing the original finishing on the shoes, a task that may damage your shoes if done incorrectly. If the leather is already natural and unfinished, then it is just a matter of dyeing or polishing, isn't it?

Save $$$, learn a new skill, and possibly teach us noobs how you do it when you are done. :s13:
