[QUOTE="bentbulldog, post: 305931, member: 763"] It'd not just the construction, but the materials and type of last the shoemaker uses. Allen Edmonds, Alden, Church's, Crockett & Jones, all use the finest materials, cork and Goodyear welts. Not that price is guaranteed good stuff. Ive bought Allen Edmonds for $150 and even $100, and they've outlived my first toe cap which were florsheims. Company reputation is important so long as it's not a fashion show shoe. Living in nyc grants me access to the best cobblers, but resoling costs anywhere between $100 - $150, but these shoes will last me decades. Keep them nurtured, polished and don't forget good cedar shoe trees. Also buy two pairs so that you can let one pair rest for 24hrs. This is the best advice you can get and I know a thing or two about good shoes. [/QUOTE]
