Jil Sander shoes! Opinions??

I'd get the Jil before the PS; just my opinion. Whether it's worth the $384 just depends on your budget; Jil makes a decent quality Italian made designer shoe at their regular line... nothing outstanding, but not bottom-of-the-barrel either. I like the styling and have several pairs that have held up pretty well. If you like that style and the price isn't going to kill you, I'd say they are worth it. Not sure the retail these days, but would guess in the $500-600 range?

$695 maybe?

I wondered... geesh, they've gone up since I used to buy them. I'm getting old.

Fancy designer shoes used to be like $300. I might be mistaken and they're $595 though, but you get the idea.

I know. My first pair of HL jeans were like $140 or something and everybody thought I was nuts for spending that. Entry-level Jils like these were about $395-495 way back when, depending on the model. My first "tailor made" dress shirts, which were infinitely better than the recent or post-prada ones, were like $270.

My experience is limited, but the few pairs that I bought have held up very well.

I think their quality depended on the shoe. The more conservative shoes like the one you are looking at and the one's I bought seemed to be better built.

There used to be a Jill Sander outlet in NJ, $550 shoes were mostly $110 -$200.

I missed that place.

Get the Jils.

The Church's for Jil that came out a few seasons ago were decent.
