Good ol' shoes Mar 19, 2007
Been havin a hard time finding a good pair of shoes around here. It's either quality OR fashion, why not both? Designer shoes are awesome, but the prices aren't! Ninewest/Aldo/Dune look great- but do they really last?? Nike/ Sketchers/ Adidas- one day they all started to be 'made in china' which is fine- but it shows and you can feel it!!!
What can be done here? Recommendations s'il vous plait?

High Heels were invent by a man as a torture device for women!! :D

Ninewest - I find these great, they last and most are comfy

Aldo/Dune - no no no, fall apart and badly made in my experience.

For trainers - PUMA - very comfy.

Have you tried Bally for shoes, very good make and mid price - think there is a shop in MoE.

For 'cheap and cheerful' fashion shoes use NEW LOOK in Diera City Centre. Huge range, very cheap - not the best quality but you get what you pay for.

For true discount shoes GEANT

Alternatively think of buying a pair of designer shoes, this probably won't make sense to men but you justify the purchase of the shoes as an investment in your wardrobe. They are generally very very well made, look fabulous and (if bought practically not fashionabley) will go with almost anything. So the saving is found in the longevity of the shoe - the last ages and save you buying others.
