The truth behind luxury shoes!
Why are so many shops, all of a sudden, offering Made -to-Order shoes? Have you noticed that more and more new shoe brands are currently created overnight? How is it possible that some shops we've never heard of suddenly claim to sell artisan shoes and even use the word "bespoke"? Did you notice that the exact same pair of shoes can be found at very different prices depending on the brand? Is it true that the quality of leather is no more what it used to be a few decades ago? How long does it take to break in a pair of quality shoes? Are tassel loafers coming back in style in our casual era?
Justin Fitzpatrick (a.k.a. "The Shoe Snob") answers all these tough questions in a brutally honest way in order to help you find your way in a more and more competitive and complex market. If you are on the market for quality MTO shoes, this episode is for you!
