Which shoes do you prefer

First one. But seriously take your time and do some shoe searches and you'll see that you won't want either one.

Neither .... get a look at something like the Crockett & Jones site and youll agree with me ......hopefully or your a lost case

For the price, particularly of the first option I would have thought you could find better, those are pretty ugly in my opinion.

Deffinatley the first.

Neither.

Let's give him the reasons why he shouldn't buy these shoes, so he knows what to avoid in the next pair.

+1

Wow, I expected worse. I dont think they are all that ugly! They arent good looking but they arent terrible. I personally would not wear them as there are lots of better looking shoes out there! Plus, they are Cole Haan. The brand sucks! I say Loake gives you a good bang for your buck: http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/produc...electedFitID=0

You can get shoes that look the same and are of the same quality, for under $100 from Zappos.

Not that you should...

if your gonna get cole haans, go for the cole haan collection. They are half decent by SF standards and u can get them pretty cheap on sale. As far as I'm aware, the made in england shoes are by cheaney

Neither.

Oh dear.
