I need a source for an Arche shoe. The name of the shoe is "Pandit". 
I know it is produced in the following colors: black and brown.  I
want camel or ecru, preferably, but am interested in what is
available.  I am tired of searching..."Zappo's" keeps appearing. 
Thank you.

Mathom,

I'm going to go ahead and post the info as your official Answer now.
Since you've indicated a desire to increase the fee (which is very
much appreciated!), you may, if you wish, add the additional amount as
a tip when rating my answer.

I'm delighted to have been able to help you with this. I certainly
know the feeling of wanting a certain kind of shoe, both for comfort
and for appearance. I once bought five identical pairs of shoes
because they were being discontinued and I wanted to be sure to have a
pair around!

For the record, I'm reposting the link to the site that seemed to
offer the best price on the Arche Pandit shoes (in black & brown):

Just Our Shoes
http://www.justourshoes.com/cgi-bin/ezshopper/loadpage.cgi?user_id=11&file=/merch/arche/saledressshoes1.html

The Arche website:

Arche Shoes
http://www.arche-shoes.com/arche_website_v2.html

Here's something interesting that I learned while researching this:
you can order Arche shoes through Amazon.com! To see what they offer,
just type "Arche shoes" into the Amazon search box. The prices are not
as good as the "Just Our Shoes" site linked above, but you can't beat
the convenience, particularly if you are also ordering other things
from Amazon.

One more thing -- on eBay, I found some very attractive green suede
Arche boots in a European size 39:

May your feet find comfort, and your mind as well! 

Very best wishes,
pinkfreud

Howdy again, Mathom.

I couldn't find these in any colors other than black and brown. This
site has them in both black and brown, at an excellent price (they are
selling for around $325 everywhere else):

http://www.justourshoes.com/cgi-bin/ezshopper/loadpage.cgi?user_id=11&file=/merch/arche/saledressshoes1.html

Here is a nice-looking Mary Jane wedge shoe that is somewhat similar,
in a champagne color:

I'm sorry I couldn't find what you wanted. Hope someone else can help.

Thank you pinkfreud. Those may be the only colors left.  If it is
presented again, perhaps there will be new colors.  The alternative
shoe is very attractive, but the Arche shoes are so comfortable.  They
are made of Nubuck leather.  Additionally, they last forever.  I
should write Arche the producer to see if the shoe comes in other
colors, then I can expand my search.  There is probably some pair
somewhere.  You are right the price is superb.

Thanks again.

Google: Please add $5.00 to the fee of $5.00 listed initially. I never
know how to do that.

Mathom,

Were you wanting me to post my findings as your official answer? I
didn't post it as such, since I was not able to find the shoes in the
colors that you desired. At present the question is still open.

Here are some cute Mary Jane shoes (with a lower heel) in Nubuck. A
'mushroom' color is available:

I used your source to order the "Pandit" shoes (Cafe).  Do you have
time to search for another pair?  I understand there is a color in the
Arche collection named "fatigued green".  I would be interested in the
green shoe.  Burgundy and black are the other choices (not appealing).
 Size 8 U.S. (Arche size 39)--elephant sizes.

Thanks

I haven't been able to find an Arche shoe in a color called "fatigued
green," but there is a greenish-brown color called "taillis" that
might be of interest to you:

The shoe depicted above is Arche's "Gloria." I'll be glad to see if I
can find it in your size, if you are interested.

"taillis" 

Thanks pinkfreud!!! An Arche representative sent me an attachment of
Pandit in fatigued green.  It looked very brown, but it may have been
the color of the shoe you sent the link to (Arche's Gloria).

I want to add money to the $5.00 for this search.  The Spring shoes
are arriving, so I think I will settle for the Cafe Pandit for now and
see what the new collection brings.

How do I add $10 to the total of $5.00 initially posted.  I never can remember.
