After seeing all of the shoe stores on our visit to Madrid, I was excited to get a new pair of…read moremen's dress shoes. There were so many stores to choose from, all seemed to have 100% leather shoes, made in Spain. When stumbling upon Coimbra, it felt different, very old world craftsmanship, complete with two gentleman that were extremely helpful. After pointing out the style and color I wanted, he brought out several pairs to try. Even though I speak very little Spanish, it was a pleasure doing business at such a traditional shoe store, something that just doesn't exist in the US anymore.
The shoes I purchased appear to be of great quality and reasonably priced. Combined with the great service, I hope other tourists will find this review and support this store which has been in the same location since 1953.
