    How many shoes are enough???

    43 pairs here, which is not really 'enough', though it's admittedly not driven by necessity. One thing I've learned though - great quality and design and a great fit eventually become more satisfying than quantity and variety. As far as what you need, there are enough classic colors in your...

    Interview rules when you know the culture of the office you are interviewing, and the average age-IT

    Quality Of Grenson Shoes

    I've got a lots of them, many are recent buys. Masterpiece/Stuarts Choice is very good. Rose is pretty good - leather is not on par with C&J though. In the Rushden line, I'd have to say that quality is declining overall, but you still can't dismiss the whole lot of them - there are still very...
