Yeah this is forum, where discourse happens. The point if this thread for you is to get your question answered, but for others it is to talk about clothes. If an aside comes up, as it did when i mentioned pointy shoes, it's okay, and thats part of the fun. I, and other members too I'm sure, would appreciate it if you didn't use a patronizing tone of encouraging gratitude and try to get us back on the topic of finding shoes for you.
The take aways are two:
1) understand that this is a forum, and we are happy to help you, but we also like to do our thing.
2) Any shoe that look that trendy, with that thin a sole, and that is that pointy, and with that sheen is going to be cemented/glued, corrected grain, and if it should be leather-soled, it will wear quickly and you won't be able to resole it. Just because they're from a brand you've heard of and a movie you saw (where quite frankly the suits were so tight they looked like under armor) doesn't mean theyre going to be good. If you want these shoes, get whatever cheap pair you can find, but there is no point in doing the research to find the film ones because unless you can pour hundreds of dollars into a pair of shoes that wont last you, and that you wont know how to take care of (because frankly, lets face it, anybody who really thinks these shoes are a good idea doesnt know about polish or conditioner or shoe trees even), it's not worth it.
Nice!, I like this, I appreciate the recommendation tho... I wanna see more links with shoes in them
