Superb Leather Shoe Products in Italy
I don't really fancy on leather shoes. I only have one pair here which I seldom wear--I'm more of a sneakers fan. I don't know, maybe I just can't imagine myself wearing these expensive footwear. How about you? Will you be willing to spend money for these branded Italian shoes?
------------------------- Superb Leather Shoe Products in Italy Ladies are guilty of uncontrolled shopping extravagance, often burning their husbands' credit cards with tons of purchases of shoes, bags and accessories. While boys are more liable of philandering, women can't seem to get enough of hasty buying. Yet, boys can still become amazed not by adorable ladies but by sleek, Italian leather collection...

I have a pair of leather shoes but don't wear them very often. Usually I will only wear them with a suit. Once when I wore them when I was just out with friends at a restaurant my good friend asked me "why do you wear those shoes?". I looked down at his tattered sneakers and replied "because I like them". Just wear them with confidence, nobody will say a thing (except if you have mean spirited friends).
I'd just like to add that this friend of mine isn't a bad guy or anything, probably just surprised at the atypical shoes for that social event and group.

I suppose "expensive" is relative. While a few hundred bucks may be expensive to me, designer shoes could cost many times that much.
I was a skeptic about expensive leather shoes until I got a pair about 20 years ago, and they felt soooooooo much better on my feet than any other leather shoe I ever had, not to mention looking good when I got dressed in a suit, in both looks and comfort there is just something about the way they wrap around my feet. The leather is very supple and soft, but still durable and they also fit just right. After many years I sent those back to the factory for reconditioning, they came back almost better than new for a fraction of the price of new, since then I bought another pair of the same brand, one is laced one is slip on, both are "dress" shoes so I only wear them when I want to dress up. These will likely last til I die so I don't plan to buy more unless something happens to these. |

I have several pairs of shoes, Patent for my tux, Formal for my Suit, walking for work, and then two pairs of everyday shoes. I have found that the more expensive leather shoes are worth the extra $ in terms of their looks and longevity, however the cheepest shoes I have ever worn are New Balance (I have a 4E width foot, kinda hard to find anything but NB or custom fancy shoes that will fit my feet). I currently wear Dunham (NB's high end brand) shoes because they look and feel just like some of those italian brand's basic shoes (no super flashy models) but cost a hell of a lot less.

I have a pair of wonderful leather shoes. They cost me about $350. They fit snug and nice and the leather is oh so soft. But ever since the incident with my footgina, I can only wear loose-fitting shoes with a big fat cushion for a sole.
I wear Doc Martins with a suit, and they are OK. But They don't look as cool as my old footwear.

People in the corporate world, and every women, know that shoes are very large indicators. Think of it as having a spectacular resume, then screwing it up at the end. You wouldn't knowingly misspell anything on a resume, or change the color/font on the last few lines would you? Wearing bad shoes with a nice suit is the same thing.

I have used the Allen Edmonds factory repair service and it was top notch first rate and the fixed shoes were better than new, since they were perfect plus already broken in. I highly recommend it. For my first time repairing an AE many years ago, I used a well known, reputable, talented shoe repair service in our town, but the job AE factory did was far better.
