Spectator shoes of co-respondent shoes kunnen fraai zijn, maar m.i. beperkt inzetbaar en behoorlijk trendgevoelig:

Spectator shoes are a men's and women's dress shoe. They are notable for their two-tone color, similar to saddle shoes. While spectators are typically wingtips, they can also be classified as cap toe shoes or even loafers. They are predominantly seen in black and white but other colors are not unheard of. John Lobb, the famous English boot maker, claims to have designed the first spectator as a cricket shoe in 1868.
Prior to this generation, brown and white and black and white spectators were equally popular. The spectator was originally constructed of willow calf leather and white buck or reverse calf suede. The white portion was sometimes made from a mesh material, for better ventilation in hot weather. They became popular as dressy sports shoes, after the Duke of Windsor adopted them. Golf made spectators popular, with spikes. Spectators for men were most in fashion in the 1930s and 40s, diminishing in favor in the 1960s, but making a return in the 1990s with retro and rockabilly, plus swing nostalgia growing in popularity. Both actor Craig T. Nelson, as Chief Jack Mannion in the CBS TV series The District, and actor-director Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin in the A&E TV series A Nero Wolfe Mystery, were seen sporting black-and-white spectators. Today, spectators made of white buck or suede are rare and generally custom made; commercial ready-to-wear manufacturers typically use white calf leather or synthetic materials.
