I really need to experience the luxury of John Lobb shoos. Thus far, my collection consists of Church's, Brooks Bros/Peal, Heschung and Alden's, among others, but I really feel that I need JL's to complete my collection.

As a reformed lawyer, my budget is somewhat tight. I'm taking up a collection: help me buy JLs!!!! (or Westons; I'll take those too). I just can't go on without some proper shoes!

Paypal info upon request. Please help -- my feet deserve better than I have been able to give them.

I guess I should add that I wear US size 11.5 or 12. I'm not opposed to used shoos in excellent condition!!!

I thought "shoo" was a banned word. Wait, I must be confused with the other site.

hmm....well, discounted lobbs are going to run you about $600-$750, but you can find them if you are willing to invest the time.

in the meantime, there are some really great shoes that would take your collection to the next level, to be sure; these look incredible.

here is a pair that might interest you, all you would need is a resoling. i've seen the brioni shoes in the las vegas store, those models were made by lattanzi if i'm not mistaken. could these be, also?

I held an identical pair in my hands this past Sunday, and the shoe was from the same batch as the seller's. There isn't much incredible about'em.
More like middle-of-the-road effort from Peluso with off-the-wall retail tag

Now the oxfords are a whole other ball game in that they appear to be a Lattanzi-for-Brioni job. Frankly, I'm suprised he lowballed them the way he has

GFM,

I'd love to help you, I really would. But I'm working on my own "Help me move to a penthouse apartment -- buy a yacht, a Maserati, a Bang & Olufsen stereo system with integrated projection television -- date more supermodels -- retire in luxury" fund drive. Thanks to everyone's generosity, I'm only about $6 million away from my ultimate goal! Thanks everybody!

Not Lattanzi.
