What is the allure of the four-pound black square toe Kenny Cole beasts?
Shopping this week with my best friend; dragged him into Brooks, Neiman, Saks, Marshall Field, Nordstrom. Â Turned his nose up at scores of beautiful shoes. Â "$400 for shoes, That's nuts." Â This guy makes six figures, and can afford such shoes.
Pulls me into the Kenny Cole store on the way out and says it's time to replace his four-year-old clunker square toes.
Price is $165. Â He doesn't blink.
I practically beg him to think loafer, moc-toe/split toe, monk strap, chelsea boot.  No bites, not even  at Johnston/Murphy at $99.  Gotta have the square toes.
This is a 40-year old man I'm talking about. Â He submits that the ladies still like the square toes.
Weren't these old five years ago?
What is the attraction?
Am I missing something or preaching to the choir?
