Form follows fit even in a casual shoe. If the shoe matches your Last and looks good to your eye then buy it.
By the way, what do a pair of bespoke shoes cost now days?

I wear shoes for school and that's it - trainers the rest of the time! Even up to the day before my wedding I was going to wear trainers (I'd bought some new ones especially! They went well with the jeans I'd bought for the big day...) but then bought a new pair of shoes at the last minute under protest! I have to dress smart for school so I refuse when I'm "off duty"!

Holy balls!  And I thought $125 back in 1991 for Air Jordans was expensive...

Ouch!   I wish my grandfather was still alive as he was a trained cordwainer. If you're ever in the States look into
the Allen Edmonds line of foot wear. Very nice quality and reasonably priced by current exchange rates.

Growing up in a time that "Traditional Dress" was the "In Thing" I had many pairs of shoes like these.  I worked at Howard Still's Mens store in the Broadway Center in Anaheim and that is where all of the DKP Peters and Fog jackets came from.

Back in the day British Walker Saddle shoes were the rage.  At that time they were about $32 a pair which was big $$.  Kids in school took pride in their appearance which is more than I can say for what I see today.  We had dress codes and that is just the way it was.

Today my closet is still full of expensive dress shoes, some from Allan Edmonds, Cole Haan and other brands.  I probably have four pairs of Saddles and on occasion I'll wear them as I still love the look.

For those of you who want to see how it was back then go to this site:  http://www.garysonline.com/  Gary's has been around a long time and still maintains that traditional feel but they are expensive.  I really enjoy going to look but seldom buy as I've become a Costco shopper for Hawaiian shirts for about $20.    Wink Wink Wink

Ya know it's funny, not trying to hijack the thread,  But my brother worked at a shoe store.   Floresheim,  before they closed,  alot of the shoe's he purchased,   i know were upwards of 500.00 or more.    And for a fact he had a couple thousand in his closet  which,  which for me at the time i thought was wasting his money.   But anyway not to disrespect anyone i just seen the shoes and was the first thing that came to mind. Lips Sealed

When I worked for Howard Still in the La Habra store, close to Sarge's house, we had a pair of British Walkers that were a special order and the customer never came back to pay the balance and take delivery.  They were Aligator in dark brown with Shell Cordovan black leather saddles and rear. 

The shoes were 1/2 size to small form my foot but somehow I talked Mr. Still into selling me them CHEAP.  That was a feat in itself as he sold nothing "cheap", not even to employees.  I guess he figured he would never sell them so he took my offer.  Everytime I wore them they looked great but my toes were paying the price.  I had those shoes for years and I think new they were about $800 back in the late '60's.  It was the only pair I've ever seen.

All this talk of quality shoes wets my appetite for a new pair that I don't need  Smiley

But what I do need are new socks and that means "Thorlos", pricey? yes..but!
They outlast the cheapie stuff about 5-1. And they feel great, especially in those
expensive dress shoes  IMHO  (well, maybe not to humble).
