Answer:
Having big feet (UK12 and wide) it's sometimes a pain to get what I want particularly in sales, which is a shame as I am definitely a shoe man. I also like gloves, hats and other accessories which is quite appropriate for this forum really many of the first perfumers were also glove makers, leather scenters and as today purveyors of other fancy goods. Personally, *I'm really more into the traditional side of things: Crockett and Jones, Churches, Trickers, Barker, Loake. Though there are some Jeffrey-West shoes I love (pointy, slightly fetishistic while still smart!) likewise some Prada and the like. On the cazh side of things I like timberlands as long as they eschew innovations such as folding down or having writing all over them (which I despise in all forms of clothing) and *there used to be some Le Coq sportif trainers in orange and blue I liked but they seem to have vanished and I also wear MBT trainers for their supposed posture and heath benefits, though they are truly truly ugly.
All the talk of knee-high stilettos with shorts, and the thought of Levannah's fine ankles curving into an exquisite pair of deeply impractical heels has brought about the necessity of a lie down, perhaps with moist balsam infused town on the forehead. Either that or the solid week of festive boozing is taking its toll. Ere I die, I wish you all the compliments of the Season.

*Rick I've got a vintage pair of converse that I wear every now & again, but I've got a light brown pair of Trickers which have served me well, it has the connotations of snooty Englishness (the stiff upper lip phenomenon), I also wear crockett & jones, RM Williams boots & I have a lot of respect for other English shoemakers such as Fosters & Sons (who never have sales but "special events" ), Edward Green & New & Lingwood. Since Prada took over Churches, my confidence has yet to be restored...
Lately I've been having a sordid love affair with Berluti; the French cobler, they are very fine shoes indeed, Westons aren't far behind either... Has anyone heard of Henderson's?

Answer:
I hate most of Miuccia's designs, but when it comes to shoes I go for Prada. Along this I tend to buy all kind of brands, just as long as I feel the shoes are good looking and well made.

Lately I've been having a sordid love affair with Berluti; the French cobler, they are very fine shoes indeed, Westons aren't far behind either... Has anyone heard of Henderson's? First the issue of Prada and Church's shoes. *What has been the impact I wonder?
I have a pair of black Diplomats that just pre-date the Prada era. *They have been away for refurbishment in the Prada era and came back looking as good as new. *Presented in a new box, they looked just as they had when brand new except they felt like my shoes *I examined some shoes in the Jermyn St branch of Church's last week and to my (admittedly not well-trained) eye they looked pretty pukka....
I also have a pair of very Prada-influenced ankle boots 'the Glen ' which have now gone two winters and they remain absolutely beautiful. *The style is of course controversial to some, having a distinctively squared off toe.
As far as slippers go, I have three Church's pairs currently - wine velvet Sovereign; black leather Hercules and brown leather Ajax. *All were purchased in the Prada era. *The Ajax are better IMO than the older versions I have owned over the years. *The other two pairs seem well made and are very nice to wear.
So, I should very interested to hear other's views on this delicate subject.
I have never owned any Berluti but did read a fascinating piece about a self-styled 'Swann Club' of London based Berluti owners which claimed that they met to clean their prized possesions in Krug Champagne


Answer:
I'm going back to Puma.
I tried out a pair of Macbeth shoes, because they got good reviews and I liked their look, and after 3 months the toe is peeling off already. $103 shoes and the toe peels off in less than 3 months? I don't even wear them that much.
But I do recommend zappos.com. The macbeths were the first pair of shoes I ordered from them, and they're willing to give me a full cash refund if I mail the shoes back, which I am. Their delivery is great also.
I'm also thinking about trying a pair of these out, posted in another thread: http://www.cinti.it/html/catalogo_uomo.cfm
I've never tried anything like those but the first shoe on the first row and the third shoe on the first row have my interest.
