The amount of these shoes or similar that I see on a regular basis is really depressing.

There is nothing that man cannot make with lesser quality, and sell at a cheaper price. And those that consider price alone are this mans lawful prey.

Only one thing can save the world from the scourge of Kenneth Cole and its shoes:

It is one of those pictures that you have to look at for a long time before you see the hidden image. I've enhanced the photo to make it just a little bit easier to see:

Why? It's because they were sold out of these beauties:

The New York landscape on the soles would be a great conversation piece when you cross your legs during a meeting so people can tell you are a snazzy dresser. Of course Mr Cole forgot that after 1 wear, most of the New York landscape would be scrapped off.

This pair of shoes should cost $70 at most, brand new and thats with good (but not great) leather. Anything more, would be too much.

Ugly shoes. But Quad's right, you see so many such similar monstrosities on men's feet on a daily basis that it does become a little depressing after a while.
