What is a Budapest/Budapester shoe? ...

[cmeisenzahl]

I've seen this type mentioned several times. The common denominator seems to be a tall toe area and open lacing? What else?

Thanks!!!

Ugly is another common feature.

LOL! They do seems a bit clunky compared to some of the other sleek designs I've seen here. ;-)

BUDAPEST
Originating in Hungary, the classic among men's shoes is a full brogue
with sporty Derby-style open-throat lacing that lends it a refined yet casual
look. "Budapesters" are double-stitched and fashioned on special
round-toe lasts that give them their characteristic form with high walls
upturned at the toe. They go equally well with suits and casual clothing.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that Buda is too ugly. Indeed it's the ugliest last on this world ... joking

In fact, Budapester is a real masterpiece, but they are a toy for a big boy only
