Actually, I also have a pair of Gordon Rush that I have enjoyed, but they popped a hole right where the upper meets the sole.

I always thought shoes were inanimate objects. Unless you are Hammer.

I agree with Ecco's. More comfortable than my normal shoes. Wear really well.

Just curious, why only leather soles?

Grown ups wear leather soled shoes

I guess I'm cheap. I couldn't ever spend that kind of money for shoes.

On dress shoes? Tough to get a good pair of dress shoes for less than $100.

The Dude Abides

Uhhh $100 is nothing for a pair of dress shoes.
