The Veblen's very interesting. At that price-point it will be hard to pass up, but I wonder how the leather wears over time.

In that last picture of the Veblens, if you said those were $40 Rockports, people would make note of the cheap looking corrected grain leather.
I love stacked wooden heels, but it may be a bit much going all the way around.
I suppose that's why Veblen is a brilliant name for a luxury shoe, by the way.

The Florsheim looks like garbage. If the forum can't tell that, there's no hope.Originally Posted by mafoofan
Excluding color, they're more similar to the Alden's than the AE's are. In regards to the garbage, are you talking about the leather quality? I'm still unsure if they're CG or just highly polished.

Do you think they'll make someone look like a "sharp GQ/Esquire guy"?

The shape, the finishing, the leather: all garbage.

I pose to ban anyone from this forum that thinks a stacked heel is made from wood.

Florsheim Kenmoor is the best value RTW shoe there is. You have to appreciate the American Gunboat style, which not everyone does.Originally Posted by Manton
