    Shell cordovan chukkas comfort level?

    I'm thinking about getting a pair of shell cordovan chukkas. I already have a pair of Allen Edmonds shell oxfords which I enjoy but they are of course stiffer than calfskin and don't seem like good warm weather shoes. I am used to suede chukkas which are soft and comfortable. So I'm...

    Why do loafers lose so much value on the secondary market?

    I've noticed that loafers seem to be priced similarly to oxfords and bluchers in retail, but in the secondary market often have only a fraction of the value of oxfords and bluchers which were close in price in retail. Why is this?

    Which Italian and French RTW shoemakers rank with EG/JLP/Vass?

    I see EG and Vass, and G&G and JLP to a lesser extent often touted here.

Which of the Italian and French shoemakers...
