Shoes by Valextra?

[Ute]

I was looking on ebay and found many shoes by Valextra. Many of them nice. Are these good quality?

Very Much Indeed.

They are made by Stefano Bemer; very high quality! Hand Made shoes.

Could the seller possibly have taken more pictures and not shown the sole?

Nice, but not $400-450 nice. They are made in the tradition of lightweight, flexible Italian shoes. If you like the construction features of Artioli or Tanino Crisco, Valextra might be a good investment.

Disclaimer: I've also been a bit spoiled by the $300-350 discounted Valextra shoes that periodically appear at the SFA flagship during the end of the season.

They are nice, goodyear welted shoes. I have a pair of the boots. Nice.

Matt, where did you purchase your shoes? I can't remember if the shoes sold at Sak's were goodyear welted, but given the close proximity of the welt to the upper in the Ebay pictures, I'm guessing the shoes are either Blake or Blake Rapid.

Saks. Mine say goodyear on the bottom. The welt is very tight cut and waist shaped.
