dress shoe. It looks like the difference between the two is the Strada has a rubber sole.

I prefer this shoe over my Rockports and Echo's, which are both very comfortable shoes.

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

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.
