If you can't appreciate the subtlety then I think that's a significant personal problem.

If something doesn't look obviously extremely expensive does that make it worse?

But he's talking about shoes that are all about in the similar price, somewhat. And they all look pretty much the same, it's your basic captoe oxford. Any differences are so subtle that I personally won't notice once they're on my feet.

Then get the Philip II. The City is ok, but the Philip is far superior.
