Re: The soles of Mantons shoos.
I love these G&G soles.
not a fan of suede so the actual shoe doesn't do anything for me, but those soles are works of art. As everyone's said, it's a shame they are doomed to be scuffed and worn. They're almost too precious to actually walk on

Based on what has to have been a complete nightmare of a neurotic client's never-ending barrage of changes in the design of the shoes, one wonders if Tony Gaziano will ever recover from this harrowing experience and return to the States.

Re: The soles of Mantons shoos.
Herr Roetzel writes that the smoothness of the suede texture dictates where they can be worn with smoother, lighterweight summer fabrics is as much a factor as the color. I can see these shoes with, for example, a tan or navy gabardine suit for summer. Roetzel uses the dark brown Alden suede tassel loafer as an example of a smooth suede for summer.
As to consumption choices, forum members run the gamut on what they're willing to spend. I'd hesitate to take a shorter vacation or forego a jewelry gift for my wife in order to buy these shoes, althrough they are beautiful. Plus there's always the risk of retaliatory spending ("now that you've spent $3,000 on these shoes, I guess I'm justified in buying this $5,000 bracelet", and so on).
