Berluti Shoes

[patrickmaniac]

Their loafers are ok but but not so for biz shoes.

I am a fan of TOD's. Anybody??

Rockport is comfy and value for the buck!

Can run a marathon in it ok. The cushioning is nice.

My Rockport wears well and last about 2 years. Use and throw...like Casio and price like Casio. Someday, I would like to own a pair of Bally!

Berluti I never even hear before! Ha

[patrickmaniac]

Not heavy for you? Lol!
It's like a ss omega planet ocean on the wrist.
Sturdy and robust though.

Definitely cheaper in Europe.

I m happy with my Church's at the moment. Haven't tried Berluti, but I think it's too expensive for me. Max I will go is Church's

I m used to the weight, haha..no issues with that. When my bro tried it he thought it was rather heavy though.

Argaration feel is I thot the army kevlar boots are lighter than church shoes.

Good training for the feet!

Having survived the SAF old army boots 20 years ago, Rockport is super comfy to me!

[patrickmaniac]

I know what you mean.
My knees were damaged during ns.

So now have to pay more attention to footwear.

Todd shoes are pretty good and comfortable but gets worn out quite easily. Bally shoes are great, well made, super comfortable but design tends to be rather dated and boring. Ferragamos, traditionally for women, also makes pretty decent men's shoe that I find are well designed, comfortable and durable. These are my 3 fav brands.. Still trying others but whatever you buy, don't buy Cole hans!

their leather are top class esp the brown but like the car vs watch debate, a clear outcome.

To each his own.


QUOTE=wolfeyes1974;550851]full of praises from friends who own berluti but I can't imagine wearing $2k+ on my feet.

Yes everything is relative to another so to each his own
By far this would be a cheaper 'hobby' compared to watches and cars
But again you know guys lah, when they into a hobby they can say until that item FLY SKY DIG EARTH just to convince the other half to go along with them (haha so do I)

Actually a major factor is the environment u work in coz you need to rotate and give the shoes a breather.

The leather would also need regular maintance in our humid environment. You dun wan to spend thousands and the shoe only last for a year.

There are other mtms like corthay that's great too.

For me Bally off the rack fits me well and I have several pairs of biz shoes plus loafers.

The church shoes are robust and traditional English welted ones. A bit heavy though.

Ferragamos are ok.

Just to check what would be an appropriate way to maintain such shoes? Thanks
Currently I have 3 pairs (Boss, LV and Bally) for rotation but I intend to get one berluti and one mtm Bally; didn't really get attracted to Ferragamos though
2 days ago I was in Ion and the sale guy in Church was so stuck up that I just walked out after less than 20 seconds. He just lost a potential sale

Ok thanks for the info, very eager to get one pair so can't wait for my Europe trip

[EZ128]

Don't forget the free/complimentary "one time color change service" from berluti boutique when you get tired of the current color

Really?? That is one added bonus for me cause without it I would still be very tempted to buy
Thanks for the info

Never heard of it too.

Too high league. Like a $300 hair cut. Cannot imagine.

Using Ecco now. Comfy and last very long.
Geox is good too. But waiting for sale haha.

Age catching up. Got to use comfy shoe.

Interesting, did not know shoes can cost so much!

Currently happy with my NB made in England and Sperry.......

Btw if I'm correct, Berluti is also owned by LVMH
