We experienced an excellent shoe sales person today who helped my wife purchase a pair of nice, dressy casual all leather shoes for a work trip.
The shoes are European sized, European made (Turkey - Middle East/Eastern European?).
The store prices were high, in my opinion. The sales that I observed were in the $80 range and the regular priced for the items that I saw were in the $110+ range.
The shoes looked nice and she found what she needed - though the price was $110 plus tax. That being said - they were all leather shoes and seemed to be high quality. My wife has worn European shoes for years - though not this brand and she has all leather shoes that have lasted her for 20+ years, and in some cases 30+ years.
Maybe that is why the prices are so high and maybe in light of that - the prices aren't that high. I will say they had both men's and women's shoes and they looked and seemed to be high quality and were not "just like all the cheap Chinese made shoes."
They had character and interesting/quality designs.
I suppose in this case - since the brand is new to us - we will see if we get a high value shoe! read more
