I found what appears to be their German homepage (much of it isn't in English), and I found what a much larger picture of the shoes.

On the catalog link on the left side, go to to D-Schnür-Schuhe, and your red-tipped lovelies are about 2/3rds of the way down the page.
Think! makes a *lot* of shoe styles (they have a whole section of sabots! I'm afraid if I bought a pair, I'd be tempted to find a mechanical loom that I could throw them into).

Those aren't exactly the same shoes--they look like all smooth leather, while mine are smooth and suede. My picture didn't come through the editing very well, so you can't see the detail.
Hey, I clicked on D-Schnur-Schuhe and got a page with more styles. I think I found my Thinks!
Ah, I was taken in by the fractal description - the ones on the first page had such a lot of swirls in the leather work. However the ones that actually are yours look more comfortable.

Yup, it's them. Looks like red-tipped laces are a trademark.
So far, they seem very comfortable. But I can't afford to get into a Think! habit, though.
