Men's Leather Shoes Are You Really Getting a
High Quality Pair?
2
A high quality pair of men's leather shoes can
actually be an excellent fashion investment.
While the price is higher than those of regular
run-of-the-mill shoes, pricier ones can actually
be worth it. That is, of course, only if you
indeed get a real high quality pair and not those
that are simply expensive. So how will you know
if you are getting the real value for your hard
earned money when buying pricey men's dress
shoes? Here is a short guide.

Go for the Calf. One reason why your pair can be
pretty expensive is due to the kind of primary
material used in its construction. If it's
calfskin, your men's shoes will likely fetch a
good price. That's because this kind of material
is used in high quality brands and custom shoe
shops. It is very soft and the grains are fine.
These qualities give your feet the comfort they
deserve.

It's All Leather. You will have the option to
choose your soles when you purchase customised
men's leather shoes. If you opt to buy a ready to
wear pair though, choose one that has leather
soles as well. This is actually a good idea since
these pairs can be repaired (and their soles
replaced), making them a long-term investment.
This is why it can be cheaper to own a high
quality pair of men's dress shoes, as opposed to
buying generic and cheaper ones every now and
then.

Look Under. While the upper material looks great
and sleek, you shouldn't forget to look under the
soles too. That's because you need to look for
stitches. Why? Apart from having all leather
upper and soles, these two materials need to be
stitched together. Cheaper shoes are glued
together, making them vulnerable to damage,
especially with everyday use. High quality men's
shoes are stitched and are more durable.

Follow the Thread. Finally, the best indication
perhaps of a high quality pair of men's leather
shoes is the obvious one. If the stitches appear
like they're a third-grader art project, be in
doubt. Apart from material, it's craftsmanship
that makes expensive shoes good value. The
craftsmanship is most obvious in the stitches.
High quality makers understand that stitching is
a matter of aesthetics, not just of durability.

You should now be ready to purchase your high
quality men's leather shoes. Use this simple
guide and you'll surely find a pair that will
make good return on your investment.
