I'm wearing caramel brown borgans today. They're sort of an Italianate style, you know, with a very thin sole and a lower vamp.
The problem is that they're Johnston & Murphy. They're handmade in Italy, but they're J&M branded. I thought the Made in Italy part would save them, but it doesn't.
They're not very comfortable. They are too narrow just below the arch, and the leather is not as soft and flexible as it should be in better Italian shoes.
I think that maybe I should replace them with a new pair. Allen-Edmonds has a lot of nice brogans in the caramel color, and they last like nobody's business. They even have some with a sleeker silhouette. But they don't have tha italian flair.
I saw a pair of Donald J. Pliner's that I like. But they cost over $700, and I just can't bring my self to pay tha much for a pair of shoes, especially ones that do equal duty as both dress and dress casual shoes.
Anyway, does Jimmy Choo make shoes for men? Manolo?
