Buy Italian. It will impress the mafia next door. -
Watch out for paper insoles (lift up the top insole and take a peek). Unbelievably, shops are allowed, and have the gall, to sell shoes made of cardboard, which as soon as they detect a whiff of water will fall apart. I once used to be able to buy great comfy reliable shoes for little money, but cheap shoes seem to be tulip nowadays, or I'm not looking hard enough. Mind you I do find shoes reach their ultimate comfort potential when they are broken in and the sides have given way and have allowed ones toes to escape.Comment

I buy Cheaneys, properly cobbled in Northampton. Seriously brilliant shoes, one pair will last a lifetime if you look after them properly.

Clarks for work, sensible understated and dependable just like me.

Cheaney is what I have been buying for the last few years and am wearing today Not quite sure about a lifetime, but they are jolly good and, I believe, are considered mid-range for those who know about their shoes. I would recommend sending them back to Cheaney to get them repaired rather than a 'slash-and-burn' local cobblers who will make a mess.Originally posted by Vandalay View Post
That said, I bought a pair of Palladium thingies as I was hacked off with the winter salt buggering the shoe leather.
In the case of shoes the adage "you get what you pay for" applies.Comment
