My other obsession

In addition to watches I am obsessed with fine shoes. Among my favorites are:

Salvatore Ferragamo

Cole Haan

Allen-Edmonds

Santoni

Allen-Edmonds make some the best fitting shoes I can find. I'm wearing the "Soho" right now. I have weird feet and not a lot out there fits me well. Some of my favorite shoes, though, are made by Brunomagli and Gravati, but they just don't fit me. On the bright side, this problem does save me money. :-)

EDIT: Forgot to mention Michael Toschi.

@TT: They must need an entire cow to get enough leather for each one of those!

And you know what they say about men with big feet...

Yup - they have lots of bright shirts.

TT! Nice kicks! Love those TBs as well! I'm more of the Cubavera type and driving shoes by Cole HAAN and Adidas Sneaks!

Dad???? :p

I BS you not, this looks EXACTLY like my father's closet. LOTS of Allen-Edmonds and LOOOOOTS of Tommy Bahama. My Dad actually goes to Vermont to have Allen-Edmonds custom fit him and make his shoes. I bought him a TB shirt last year and when I saw the $175 price tag I remember thinking "I can get me a rep for this"

Lord Rasta, you have great taste. I'm a big fan of Cole Haan and their sub-brand Bragano but my personality quirk is boots. Lived in the Sierra Nevadas and Rockies for so many years before moving to an island that I never got out of the boot habit. So its lots of Tommy Bahama mixed in with a paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) weird fashion sense. BTW Mike, you might find this close to your Cabo heart, two of these pair were purchased at Rogers Boots in the Puerto Paraiso Plaza in Cabo!

Fine shoes are also one of my obessions for collecting.

Bally

Cole Haan

Mezlan

Donald Pliner

Ferragamo

Gucci

Dolce Gabbana

I wear a size 14 US and sometimes it is not easy finding the shoe in the size I want, but the past couple years my luck has been good.

I too have a shoe and shirt fetish. My shoes include:

Mezlan (ostrich, alligator)

Ferragamo

Sandro moscoloni (ostrich)

Gucci

David Eden (crocodile)

These are my favorites. 42 pair in all.

I also have over 150 silk button down shirts by Tommy Bahama and Nat Nast. Nat Nast uses fare superior silk IMO.

Maybe not quite an obsession, and certainly not of the calibre shown, but, I do have about a dozen pairs of shoes...

I'm soon to begin on a project that shoe-fans might appreciate, equally, they might consider it sacrilage :D

Double T, you're not Boyd Coddington, are you?
