(I Actually don't know if you bought them at Macy's or not, just a guess and not important). By your line of thinking, your experience would have been much different had you bought the same Mezlan shoes at a different store! And that is both dumb and ridiculous because no store has a warranty on shoes worn for 4 months.
Second, you wonder why you should have known to buy EGs and Lobbs and not Mezlans. This forum does not tell you what to buy, if anything, it encourages you to express your style. What the forum does do, is allow you to make educated decisions and CONTROL YOUR EXPECTATIONS. Example: My expectations for RM Williams is very high because of the amount of positive feedback on the boots. While my expectations are low for Armani Collezioni suits because while their cuts are nice, forum consensus is that the quality is subpar for price.
Third, the whole point of ebay shopping is deal finding and mining through millions of garbage items to find gems. Amazing deals on 13D Lobbs ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WITH REGULARITY. Otherwise, luxury brands would go out of business.
Finally, I disagree with some of the other posters. I am attacking you. You should be attacked for making such stupid assertions. But you must realize that we do it because we care and learning from these types of mistakes are the only way you are going to grow (as a stylish person). If I was unhappy with a pair of Banana Republic shoes that I bought AND had the nerve to post that experience, I would want you and everyone else to attack me. Because let me tell you, I was once that guy. And I appreciate everyone who told me I was wrong so that I wouldn't take the same wrong turn over again.
