As such, we have taken the opportunity to visit many of europe's finest shoe stores, as my wife, well all woman love shoes, and over the years, she has turned me into a shoe fanatic.
This shoe store is simply one of, if not the finest if you are looking for something special. They carry what are now my favorite brands, Shoto and sylvana sassetti, made by hand, the old fashion way. They are expensive, but my feet have had issues and I need wide toe box, good support, and I'm generally a hard fit. These have a size which fits my foot perfectly every time.
But what also makes the place special is Marco the owner, who is an excellent salesman, and knows his product inside and out. And the cup of expresso they offer upon entering does not hurt.
They have two locations, when they explain it, will seem like 20 miles apart, but probably only a couple miles, ten minutes on a tram, one in district 1 and the other in district 4, or maybe it's 5. Both locations convenient to anything else you'd want to do in Zurich.
This is a special place with fantastic products.
