What is considered a good brand of shoes??

[ChicagoRon]

Not sure how I read this whole thread and haven't seen:

Weston
Lattanzi
Kiton (overpriced, but pornorific)
Graziano and Girling

and some of the more obscure:
St. Crispin's
Corthay
Barker Black


and (not as popular recently as when i first started reading SF)
A testoni "almeda testoni" line

and Thom McAnn

I'm coming out of the closet. I heart Santoni.

I have about 6 pair of Gucci loafers. I hate them when they're brand new, but love them as they age and develop charachter. Have got a few pair that are 6 and 7 years old, and look very lived in - but they have retained their shape. One pair of light tan horse-bit loafers from about 2000 I cannot let go of because they don't make them in tan any more, and I can't replace them.
Apart from that about 5 AE's and several Ferragamos. Love them all. And then of course Tres Outlaws cowboy boots. Larry.
