    Ferragamo vs Gucci vs Prada shoes

    By my count you are but a young ********** who has spent gobs of money on expensive shoes and has a strong opinion about which of those shoes you prefer. But as for my being "clueless" I can only tell you that I have been purchasing everything from acid-tanned Mason farm work-boots, Bally...

    Ferragamo vs Gucci vs Prada shoes

    I'd rank Bally Swiss right in there with Gucci, Ferrgm and to a lesser extent Prada (I'm not too keen on Prada.) But I own a few pair of Gucci boots and I am still amazed at how comfortable and durable they are and one pair of elongated chelsea boots made of hand tooled calf get more comments...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile > Red Wing Gentleman Traveler

    That is pretty funny. I remember when I first became aware that my 'old' 30yr workboots that nobody ever noticed for were now HUGE hipster fashion statements in Brooklyn (where my daughter kept telling me, "Dad, EVERY guy is wearing your boots!") and elsewhere in the metropolitan world of...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile > Red Wing Gentleman Traveler

    I build and design furniture and do a lot of general carpentry too I have been wearing either Wolverine, Red Wing or Mason(back when they were a solid US union made boot) for 30+ years and I can only state with certainty from my own experience that if ANY of these boots did not feel comfortable...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile > Red Wing Gentleman Traveler

    I hate that damn top stitching too. And this is years later-I still hate it. I'd rather have the red wing and i do have the 1000 m and that runs narrow too but in an E they are perfectoi

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    My Allen Edmonds story: I have been lurking here a good bit as I have recently made the decision to upgrade some of my work boots after a 30 year stint with BA Mason (yes, please make faces. I know how bad their quality has declined in the past decades. Not an idiot-just cheap and...

    Anyone ever heard of AE Cornwall? Just scored a pair and curious-no info out on web

    I found a pair of 'vintage' AE Cornwall loafers at a thrift that have been worn maybe 1 time-or were used on carpet only- that -to me- look decidedly modern but I can find absolutely no info on the web or AE's sites about any such model. There are a couple a pics on ebay of 2 listings that don't...
