Seems to me that the biggest selling point for the gold cup line is gold plated eyelets. Extremely tacky to me, and not worth more than a $5 markup. Although they mark them up $100. (I'll take my gold in coin form not on my shoes.)

Of course, these shoes don't have eyelets so I guess you are paying for $100 for deerskin and memory foam. Unless, the construction is better than their regular line but I doubt it.

Finally got a pair of these to try-dark brown in Venetian style, kind of a dressy loafer. Very comfortable so far. Relatively affordable at $170 a pair. Look to be decently constructed for the price.

Will try them out for a week and share my thoughts.

These are fantastic shoes based on the first days' use. Some of the most comfortable shoes I have owned.
