J.M. Weston is well known in Europe but I've never heard of them before until I spoke to my brother in laws who live in Belgium and France and they swear by Weston shoes. While in Brussels on vacation I see the J.M. Weston store on Avenue Louise and stopped in. The store is small and intimate but they have a great selection of shoes. The sales associate who helped me was very friendly, knowledgeable and outgoing.
He explained the warranty on the sole of the shoe which is amazing to me. They will resole your shoes up to 5 times, that alone is worth the price of the shoes alone. As I browsed, I saw many pair of beautifully hand made shoes but my budget laughed at me when I saw some of the prices. I wasn't prepared to drop $4000 Euro on a pair of shoes but I did have a comfortable price range I could deal with and it worked out for me.
I can say I am a fan of J.M. Weston and I am a fan of this location. As a side note, you can have a fully customized pair of shoes made to your specifications but again, my budget would laugh at me! read more
