With OC, Rachel Comey, B Store etc type shoes, you're paying for styling which I think is worth it if you can find for a price you're comfortable with.
Thats interesting, someone said they were really good quality, must of had me fooled! I originally wanted to grab a pair, well see, you may have changed my mind. I suppose i could look on ebay or something ha O,.. and Mr. Moo. I like the thick knits at the moment, depends what you wore with it. How much? mark

Mark, it's $250. I'd wear it with jeans, I guess. Maybe some flannel pants as well. Just don't know if chunky knits make people look chunkier...

My pair of Opening Ceremonys aren't terrible, but nothing amazing either. The leather is pretty thin and the finish looks somewhat cheap. The soles don't seem that great either. If I wear (any) socks with them they rub the skin on top of my big toe (as a result of bending there).

I love that duffel. Man, if only it wasn't full-length. It's purty at that price too.

That's such a fantastic take on that jacket. I love the zip pocket instead of 'Trojans' emblazoned on it.

Okay, my first time buying Johnston Murphy. Need a moderate work and walking shoe for the city. Looking at this one. Price is excellent. How's the quality for 99 clams?

Ok, I've sent a message to Sutocorp, and am awaiting reply. It's crazy, though, how short the Yahoo jp auctions are. Most I've seen are 2 days. That's barely enough time to proxy.
