Last night the wife and daughters were looking for some clothes at the mall. So the boy and I wandered around and eventually into Altier's, a mall shoe store.
I saw a few Florsheim wingtips in the men's section. Now that I've seen AE, Alden, and many more shoes I've become a bit jaded. When I was younger, and considered chinos to be 'dress clothes,' I thought Florsheim shoes were high-end. But these shoes looked horrific, they didn't even look like leather, I'm reasonably confident that they were just very glossy black plastic.
So was Florsheim once a decent brand? Or have my experience and perspective just changed?
