I'm having a hard time getting behind these shoes. I'm sure the failing is entirely mine, and I have no real frame of reference for eastern European footwear, but to me they look like a county shoe maker's provincial interpretation of urban styles. They look very rural and boxy. Are these actually very good examples of some kind of shoe that I'm just not familiar with? Like I said, the failing is mine I'm sure, and I don't mean to sound insulting.Originally Posted by Frodo
I felt the same in the beginning but the shoes have really grown on me. I recently looked at all the different photos fritzl has provided over the last year and was amazed by all the different colours, styles and leathers. Some or more precisely all of these shoes are unique in style plus you will get them on lasted trees.

What is the incremental enjoyment of receiving a new pair of shoes when you already own 100 pairs? Is there even any enjoyment?Originally Posted by forex
It's a Tiger Woods type of thing.
If it were a Wilt Chamberlain type of thing, that would be more aportnoy's department.
Not wearing them will prolong this anticipatory *fingers crossed* feeling.Originally Posted by Shikar

You mean like staring at a delicious desert and never raising the fork?

How about we approach it from a different Hungarian angle?
Their "country ****-kicker" vibe is part of the charm for me and my pair.Originally Posted by binge

Vox is the pillar of our community and he always posts pictures of beautiful young ladies....Originally Posted by lasbar
That's not nice lasbar! Shaving his legs and chest doesn't make him a "lady". He does always post pictures though, that's true.

My chest isn't shaved or otherwise tonsorially modified.

Not at all. I really don't mind that you are French. It's a wonderful country.
In fact, I wish that our produce here was as good.
