Worth it? (Shoe related)

Don't know much about these shoes other than they seem to be on the lower end of the Santoni scale and that people here seem to hate rubber soles (Not sure why?).

Good deal or pass?

They appear to be women's shoes?

Or should I get these? http://www.francos.com/items/item.asp?sku5=29188

Those are listed as women's shoes. Is that just an error?

says mens shoes at the top of the page, the santonis look like a good deal to me, and they're a nice looking shoe.

I'd call YOOX and inquire to be sure, although there is nothing feminine about those Santonis. I prefer them to the Marteganis, and think they would look good casually or with a suit. The price is decent if unspectacular but you likely can't find anything better at this price point.

P.S. Just noticed these have a rubber sole. That makes it a tougher decision.

I have some rubber-soled Santonis and I really like them. I did however get them for a fair amount cheaper then that Yoox price. If you play around on ebay and the like you may be able to find something similar, considerably cheaper.


Incidentally, while I like them a lot, the rubber sole does make it impossible to really dress them up. I have actually thought about trying to have a cobbler replace it with a leather sole. Is this advisable/possible?
