You would think with all the fine shoe making that goes on in León Mexico, that you would be able to get some great GYW shoes. Not at all. I sought out a couple of great factories to see if I could buy some. No way. They don’t even want to say who they are making shoes for. But I was told that every shoe is graded into best, sellable, and finally the ones that they just grind up and turn into heel blocks. They ship straight to warehouses worldwide or in some cases to the final customers. Point being that their best dress shoes are not sold in Mexico. AE is even more expensive here.The Mexicans have a real love of shoe shining. My friend Gilberto said I was the only American who gave a damn about shiny shoes, but if you're wearing dull shoes in Mexico, you'd be a laughing stock.
