    Don't you get those slip-ons in orange when you get locked up and go to jail? LOL

    Rockports have been my most comfortable shoes. However the soles on the shoes three years ago didn't last as they had switched sole materials. They are back to a more resilient sole again...someone made an oops that year!

    Without a doubt, that distinction goes to Mephisto....the downside being 80% of their designs are FUGLY!

    Most of my casual shoes are Prada or rare Puma . D&G make fashionable trainers as well
    as for dress shoes, I stick to TODs or Louis Vuitton.
    E Zegna shoes are nice, but not comfortable and therefore overpriced, just for the name...(I used to use those before discovering the quality of TODs.)

    +1 My favorite pair of shoes are black leather Mephisto's. They are ugly, but are so very comfortable. I was wondering why no one had mentioned them yet.

    Thats how they look like brand new. Its called "scarred leather" and its a type of treatment that makes the leather appear that way permanently. The humps on top of the toe box never loses its shape. The boots looks that way all the time and never adding new unwanted creases from wear.

    The leather is also "object dyed" which it certainly isn't your typical treated boots. The cordovan leather is very sturdy and its not flimsy. The bull leather sole on the bottom is nailed down. Everything is hand crafted, leather are inspected carefully before it is shipped. Carol Christian Poell boots are also limited to 30 pair per style that they carry. Each boots are individually stamped using a digital stitching technique. Its very difficult just to get your hands on them even when you have the money to throw it down.

    Take these boots to any highly reputable shoe cobbler and you they can tell you amazing they are. Most specialist will be able to determine the quality of these boots from the rest.

    Below are other styles from Carol Christian Poell clothing. This Jacket with the attached gloves are $9800.00 at Maxfield in Beverly Hills and the footwear are about $2300.00:

    Anyone recommend a good pair of dress shoes for someone with a very narrow foot? Nothing to expensive...under $200.
