Salvatore Ferragamo Andrea Lace-Up Shoes


THE ASKMEN TAKE

These finely crafted black leather lace-up dress shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo are made in Italy, and are designed with only two eyelets for the laces and a plain, smooth, rounded toe. The heel is stacked and the shoe has a high vamp when compared to most dress shoes, giving it a sleek and low overall profile. As a result, the shoe wraps itself around the base of your ankle snugly for a minimal, contemporary look.

UNIQUENESS

When spotted among the wingtips, cap-toe oxfords and other old standbys favored by so many men, these Salvatore Ferragamo Andrea lace-ups not only stand out, but they do so in a subtle, refined manner. The two-eyelet design is enough to draw a second glance, but it’s the purity of the unadorned toe that makes this shoe a must-have.

DURABILITY

A well-made leather dress shoe will outlast you, and even follow you to the grave if polished and cared for properly. The initial cost may seem extravagant, but consider this: You’re paying for an artisan-crafted product that may very well be the last dress shoe you’ll ever buy. What you pay now could actually save you money in the long run.

Prince Charles was recently seen sporting a pair of shoes that he has owned for nearly 20 years. In the present financial climate, there are far worse places to invest your money than in a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo Andrea lace-ups.

DURABILITY

Coach is known for its craftsmanship at reasonable prices, and while a leather bag will cost you more than one of those nylon businessmen specials at the office supply store, you’ll get far more use out of the Coach Transatlantic Commuter Brief than you ever imagined. Even if you’re not traveling on business, you need a bag designed for the modern man that isn’t an old gym bag rescued from the basement.
