"Funny that a pair of really nice shoes make us feel good in our heads - at the extreme opposite end of our bodies."

Shoes
There are shoes for all walks of life. Consider the fact that your shoes should reflect a walk of life that is uniquely yours.
Alden Shoes
If the classic American shoe is what you seek, your choice is Alden. These handmade shoes will never be out of style. Hand-worked from the finest leathers, these shoes represent a centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship - cordovan leathers hand-dyed using an ancient tradition of vegetable dying, slip-ons that feel as if they were made with your foot in them, well-balanced oxfords, sturdy brogues. These are the shoes of the no-nonsense man - a man of quiet, solid values.
Michael Toschi Shoes
The engineering of their soles is inspired by the likes of Ducati and Ferrari. The uppers are sleek, yet functional. The Toschi shoe is crafted for performance, comfort, elegance and style. It represents a balance of form and function, technology and touch. And the man who wears it is making a statement about a way of thinking about life that embraces comfort and style in equal measures. Putting it simply, if you could drive the Toschi shoe, you'd blow the doors off all of the other shoes you passed, and you'd be comfortable doing it.
Zelli Shoes
Made by hand in Tuscany, the menagerie of Zelli shoes gives the discerning buyer so many choices he's likely to feel like the mule who starved to death between two bales of hay. Zelli takes pride in being able to offer a range of sizes and widths, even in the shoes constructed of the exotic leathers such as Teju Lizard, Crocodile, Ostrich and Peccary. And if the exotics aren't in the hunt for you, there are exquisite Italian calfskin and Nappa leather options. Let's put it this way, if Zelli doesn't offer a shoe that you feels sets you apart from the crowd, then perhaps barefoot is your best option.
Cole Haan Shoes
In 1928 Chicago, Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan designed the first Cole Haan shoe. It was a shoe that spoke to the age of jazz - sleek, comfortable, sophisticated and eclectic. It was a shoe that felt like downtown at night - alive and jumping. And in eight decades, that spirit of distinctly American, jazz-tapping chic is still the hallmark of the Cole Haan shoe. Put a pair on and watch your eyes dance.
Martin Dingman Shoes
There can be no finer connection between an American man and the ground he walks than the Martin Dingman shoe. In his youth, Martin Dingman spent his summers on horseback in southern Missouri, helping to manage the family's herd of Black Angus cattle. He grew up with an appreciation for big skies, the smell of worn leather, and the strength of American values. These shoes have strong traditional roots but are fresh and alive - not stodgy. Slip into a pair and see if you don't find Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" playing in your head.
