I have only gone to the store on Pl. des Ternes.  Their shoes seem pretty good.

Thanks g-, you're certainly educating me. You're also right on the personal taste, you can't argue against personal preferences, but like music, there must/or should be a point of intersection, somewhere where we can arrive at an objective position of "good" i.e. a sound method of construction? And also intent, the intent of the shoemaker in making something that is beyond a mere shoe.  But by that I don't mean something fancy an ornate, I mean kick ass shoes, made by men, for men.

Same with me, I thought that Ace Face chap had fucked off back to the 1930's?

Interesting stats g-, be careful though, I had some due diligence activities under my jurisdiction for awhile and along with using organisations that had mercenary divisions, I had full access to D&B, I started to do similar research as above on all manner of companies that interested be personally. Little did I know, that the access to D&B was not unlimited, we were paying for each report requested.

I wager that the turnover of C&J's is larger than EG's, despite the hefty premium.  C&J's are pretty ubiquitous as the quality shoes for the common man and they're truly global in availability. 

Accounts for USA companies are universal crap and meaningless. Caveat emptor.

I am curious as to why Ludwig Reiter does not get more applause at FNB.  Not many mentions here and I am always impressed with their shoes.
