Very seventies ?? Santoni is one of the top designer labels for shoes.

I'd kill to have a pair.

I see a lot of the younger people, such as myself wearing a lot of flip flops. I guess its a Florida thing..

Otherwise, people tend to wear nike, adidas, and all that jazz..

Maybe so, but they are just rehashing the style from the 70s, like most do, just do a google image search for 70s mens shoes.

Shoe design has never changed. It's just different styles. An Oxford shoe has always had the same design since it's inception.

Exactly, the last time that style was in was around the late seventies, they were called Brogues back in the day, now that style has come around again and once again is in fashion. It just makes me smile how people think it's something new and exclusive.

The ones in the picture are Italian Monk Single Strap shoes by Santoni not Brogues.

They can call them what they like, but that doesn't change the fact they are simply a Brogue clone. [rolleyes]

No they're not. How is it a brogue if it doesn't have a leather wingtip cover on the toe cap.

You have no idea about what you're talking about.

What's so great about them.....apart from being from a "top designer label"? A shoe is a shoe to me.

Hand stitched, premium leather and they'll last a lifetime you uncultured philistine.

I couldn't care if you're right or not, but I'm dubbing you the shoe nazi in my book. [rofl]

Yep...this one confirms it. Shoe nazi.
Lighten up pal...they're shoes. The only people I know that spend $400+ on a pair of shoes are women.

[RorieSorNearop]

not for everyone but these are the sneakers I use daily

except for work I wear black or brown dress shoes

for leisure clothes...you could try Gantz, Eddie Bauer, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Tommy, American Eagle, etc

usually my go out is jeans, sneakers, polo or skateboard shirts

The wingtip is just one style of Brogue mister Shoe Nazi, the original was the Brogue, then styles that came after were just based on the Brogue, like Oxfords, Loafers, Derbys.

Don't tell me about English shoe history! [rofl]

You are mixing things together. brogue just means that you have an extra layer of leather overlapping the front on the shoe which they used to put holes in (brogueing) to let water out faster as these shoes were used in Scotland in bad weather conditions.

Ok you win, i only wear Wellington boots anyway.

That is one of the gayest things i´ve ever seen someone say on FM.

I see that you're confusing gay with stylish and cool.

The way I see it, most "men" within the fashion industry today would probably say that they're one and the same.
