We the North, give shoes a tough go in winter and so I target cheaper shoes in the season of snow, ice and salt.
I was in the market for some brown wing tips with this in mind. Enter "Base London" ; I found a pair that appeared to have above average construction on heals stitching etc in the price segment, leather that felt pretty good and synthetic soles that should take abuse I was planning.
One winter season and the soles wore rapidly then split...right across. Less than a season with lots of other shoes in rotation is shameful.These are far from AE but Saks and The Bay have them priced pretty high IMO given that even budget friendly Aldo holds uo better.
Contacted Base London directly but got no response not that I expected as much.
If your looking beater dress kicks look elsewhere.
