How's it going guys?
I was just wondering if you all could tell me how to pick out a well made shoe from a cheap one by looks and what maybe to look for to differentiate. Â Tonight I purchased a pair of Brown Shoe Company black Milano style square toed lace ups for $65 (laugh... scoff... I know... probably not good, but neither is my current newspaper photojournalist monthly earnings). Â They are leather and it says they are made in Italy (not sure if that makes a difference), and look indentical to a pair of Kenneth Cole's that I really like but I can't drop $150 on them right now. Â My question is, with not too regular wear (once or twice a week to go out, etc.) would the shoes I bought do me okay until I can get a pair of Kenenth Cole's in a year or so, or should I take them back and just wait? Â If you guys are like the GQ people you will laugh me off this forum for even admitting what I did, but I would genuinely like your opinion as I am trying to upgrade my wardrobe on a pretty pathetic income, and I won't bury myself in credit card debt to do it. Â Thank you in advance.
