^^^What type of leather? They look to be very soft. Interesting treatment of the sole.

What is the latest on price/quality ratio of Bontoni shoes? I love the pics of the monks in the first slide. Any recommendations from where to purchase (i.e. best price/service)? Thanks.

In their defence these shoes have a retractable beer opener in the soles.

Jil Sander is going after D&G customers.

That sole-extension business seems pretty gimmicky.

I have a feeling it comes from a misinterpretation of toe taps, saw a D&G shoe in some store that had a chrome plate mounted on the front of the sole. so I expect Jil to have the steel tip as an additional accessory ...
