Hello all,
I am thinking about purchasing a pair of Bruno Magli ostrich shoes for casual business use, and would like to know how others feel about wearing/owning this type of shoe, and what you wear them in. Thanks.

I'm neither a fan of ostrich nor Bruno Magli. As stated by O.J. Simpson, "those ugly ass shoes."

I don't know of a situation where it would be appropriate to wear ostrich shoes. I find them ostentatious and gaudy.

I'd have to agree - in a shoe I don't like it so much but in a boot it can work.

Are you 20-25, incredibly fit and possibly ina boy band? The only way I would wear those is if I were kitted out in All Saints clothing.

Too many anglophiles on this board to even mention Italian shoes.

Well, how many pimps do you know? And what line o' work must one be in to have a gaggle of pimps as acquaintances? Especially ones wearing ostrich shoes.
