Salvatore Ferragamo (beware of music) has been known to be the grand daddy of modern designer footwear. he was a prodigy, employing a team of 6 cobblers at age 14 in his hometown, Naples, Florida (just kidding, Italy) back in the early 1900's. His M.O. was hand-made, classic style all the way, using only the best materials in such a way that would provide ultimate comfort and support. The man went to school for chemistry and anatomy in order to maximize his knowledge in materials and the ways of feet for god's sake. I found this gem while surfing the SF site, but realized that someone screwed up somewhere when they didn't include it on the online store.
price: unknown (but speculating in $900 range).

ReplyDeletetoo bad no nice boots are actually warm enough for us canadians!
You should get the aldo boots for in mid march weather.
i bought a pair of aldo shoes two years ago, i think it was the only pair they ever made that didn't have the word 'gino' tagged all over it. anyway, they are cheap for a reason, ya know? boo urns to disposable fashion.
