Mine are two-toned redwood and tobacco buffalo hide in a "natural" edge cuff at the top, and brown antler buttons.

They look good with a feileadh bhreacain - nothing to completely jar the eye, anyway - and keep me walking better than any other pair of shoes I've got. My set's got at least twelve years of walking in 'em, at least one weekend a month and one week solid every year.
