Andreas Santoni
I've owned a lot of shoes. A lot of shoes. But I have to say that there's nothing that rivals the quality of a Santoni, especially in its price range. The Santoni shoe is incredibly well made, with high end leather, superb construction, and an excellent weight. The're also cutting edge in design and look great with casual trousers or with formal suits. I've been buying Santoni shoes for years now and have to thank my friend Joel Jaffe at Boyd's in Philadelphia for turning me on to them. Gucci and Prada and all the other fashionable stuff may stay hot in the minds of young people, but do me a favor and invest in a pair of Santonis. You'll thank me for doing so.

About 15 years ago, I bought a pair of Alden wingtips for about $450 at Rothman's on Union Square in NYC. I had never spent more than $100 on a pair of shoes up until that point, so I nearly had a heart attack, but I was with a female co-worker and she insisted that a good pair of shoes was essential to success. She was absolutely right. I still wear those shoes a few times a week and (after sending them back to Alden recently for refurbishment) they are still comfortable and look sharp.
Great shoes, indeed. I've heard that Alden and Allen Edmonds don't have shanks in their shoes. Verdad?
