Good quality men's shoes

[craigjm]

Those of you that spend on quality shoes, what brands would you recommend? I have been looking at Jeffrey West shoes, anyone got any experience?

What is your care routine for good quality shoes? I really dont want to spend heavy on good shoes and use liquid polish

Ive looked at Loakes and they come across far too traditional for me.

So, what about care routines?

Excellent thanks! mentions the products and the process which is what I wanted and the earlier articles talk about the decent brands too. Thank you very much.

Will have a look at C&J then also.

Anyone got any direct experience of Jeffery West shoes?

Those of you who have mentioned good brands above where do you take them to be re-heeled etc as I don't really rate the generic places

Use shoe trees, don't wear every day, polish as required. My Church Chelsea boots still look new after a year of wearing them too much.

Thanks, what about re-heeling and stuff?

Do you get a red nose and big curly wig to go with those clown shoes?

Ah yes should have mentioned I was talking about the formal shoes they do not the wild "fashion" items

I purchased a couple of pairs of Jeffery West shoes and have been very pleased with them so far. Due to this I have been given a pair for Christmas but I am wondering what to wear them with. The shoes are a dark aubergine colour and look really nice in the light but what colour suits / trousers would you wear them with? The shoes are -

refusal to wear them will result in withdrawal of privileges and that is not an option I want to take

Why? those six points are excellent advice if you have decent shoes and want to keep them that way

Any opinions?

Does anyone have any experience of Paolo Scafora shoes? I have seen some I really like on the internet but they dont have any UK shops and they cost £900 direct from Scafora themseleves in their ready to wear range. Anyone got a pair?
