Goodyear welt shoes > all.
Posted via RS Mobile | Yea but when Ferragmos go on sale, they are virtually the same price as a pair of regular priced AEs...so not a bad deal Posted via RS Mobile |

Posted via RS Mobile | I find the AE shoes' soles look too chunky in most styles, I really like the minimalist European style even if it's a bit more delicate.

Posted via RS Mobile | Somewhat true. Ferragamo's Tramezza line does have a goodyear welt. However not really a fair comparison as it's well out of the price range.

They are strictly a summer shoe for me.
I have a pair of AE Cliftons and they are quite slim in profile and not out of place with contemporary slim fitting dress pants. Posted via RS Mobile | |

- A quick brush of the shoes before putting them on (I usually keep a brush in my office and at home)
- Full polish once the shine starts to go away
- Leather conditioner to repel moisture
I keep the nice pairs in the office and wear old shoes or water-resistant boots on the commute to work.
