Talk me out of spending $295 on Hugo Boss shoes

[pvrhye]

The ones in the picture aren't the ones he saw, but if they're really similar, they're nice.

Anyway, Blue Sole Shoes in Philly has them. www.bluesoleshoes.com 215-496-9244. They only have one in each size, so 9.5s are mine. I'll probably pick them up tomorrow and poast pics.


Cool show pics when you get them, post in the "HOF what you are wearing thread". I reckon they would rock well with any casual outfit, I would like to see them with lighter colored chinos. I will check out the URL you sent. $295 is not a lot for shoes really, and at that price we wont be expecting Vass or JLP quality. Thanks for the tip.

I am partial to HB. Most of their stuff is meh, but the suits fit me better than most OTR labels

Also, think of using that money for something bigger! (don't know what, but you can use your imagination!)

But the EGs would only make sense if they were something to keep for a number of years. With something a bit more 'fashiony' (there'll be a few who faint at the thought, no doubt) and not to be kept longterm, is it worth it?
If you like them, buy them and wear them with a smile

No worries. If thats a concern, Lobb and I am sure EG have many classic casual or boat shoes which can last you many years. These brands aint gonna come up with some in season snazzy look.

Their clientele are businessmen in their 40s and up and they are not going to buy such stuff. Of course there are exceptions like people like Ishi and myself!

This is the same train of thought I had.

those are f*cking awesome. buy em.

 

[Galix]

I guess HB didn't make the shoes but instead some specialized shoe brand for them. Like "Brioni for..." So probably they are good quality. If you like them, buy 'em.

If the fact that they're HB is a problem, you can browse for similar shoes. I'm sure you'll find very similar models in most of the major and well reputed shoe brands for the same price or just slightly more.

They have some good items, some crazy ****. A lot of rebanded Magnani and some Grenson. The guys who work there are real nice. They also sell cedar shoe trees for 20 bucks, if you need some.

I'll post pics later.

Jesus, you guys are slow. Guess I'll have to do it.
