I found a pair for around $100, retail was $400+, are they any good?Originally Posted by agoldf
Thanks.
I've got a pair of double-monks (Made in Switzerland) that are holding up great and get me a shatload of compliments (unsolicited).
mainline bally shoes and loafers are decent. not worth 395 but go ahead and buy them at 150 or less.
bally scribe is another story though , iam tempted to buy one at full retail 795 their wingtip black leather one. so sweet.

I've had a pair of Bally Swiss-made loafers for over 12 years. Purchased from a long-gone Bally boutique here in Denver. They've held up great and still look like new. Many heels and soles later, they are still one of my most comfortable and stylish shoe. Current Bally mainline quality is not what it used to be. I'd like to see the Scribe line in person.

I spotted some Ballys in the sale. They weren't Scribe but they had the fancy handwriting on the inside exactly the same as Scribe.
Chanelled soles etc. Retail of £500 on sale at 50% off - anyone seen this line before?

I have sneakers over 12 years old, doesn't mean they are good quality.
Bally will be on par with the glued Italian fashion brands like Ferragamo Studio line, etc.

The black scribe wingtip is really impressive.
