We're talking about BIFL shoes here. Comparing the market shares $100 pair of glued-sole dress shoes to a $400 pair of goodyear welted ones makes no sense in this context, because the $100 pair isn't competing with something like Allen Edmonds for people looking for BIFL stuff.
I didn't say anything about $100 glued glued sole dress shoes. You're just making up more shit because you're lonely and you like to argue. Allen Edmonds' market share of $400 welted shoes is anemic.
Plenty of non welted shoes are awesome. If you're talking glued-sole dress shoes, then your options for "awesome" ones are few and far between.
Nope. You already admitted that's not true when you said, "The vast majority of stuff put out by companies you named aren't welted". You should try to remember the stupid things you say.
Non welted shoes can be re soled They often can't,
ALL shoes can be re soled, sweetie.
and most shoes with glued soles don't bother to use quality leather that will last multiple resoles in the first place
You mean Allen Edmonds doesn't use quality leather? www.allenedmonds.com/shoes/mens-shoes/loafers-slip-ons/arezzo-italian-loafers/SF55106.html?dwvar_SF55106_color=55106#sz=18&start=41
Or Bruno Magli doesn't use quality leather? www.brunomagli.com/lorenzo/
Or do you mean Ferragamo doesn't use good leather? couture.zappos.com/salvatore-ferragamo-tris-horsebit-loafer-nero
Hahahaha! Dummy! It must be embarrassing for you to be exposed as an ignorant blowhard.
They often last much longer than leather soles by Allen Edmonds.Allen Edmonds offers non-leather soles.
I didn't say Allen Edmonds doesn't offer non leather soles. I compared their leather soles to non leather soles from other firms. Why do you make up fibs?
Comparing leather to rubber on durability has nothing to do with welting.
Um, yes it does.
Magnani. These run at least as much as Allen Edmonds, most of the models much higher, and they're harder to find.
What's your point? That because they are more expensive that they are welted? Did you think that "welted" is an amount of money? As in, "An upgrade to a deluxe suite costs welted"?
Lol. I don't even own a pair of AE dress shoes, and I don't have any desire to.
I'll bet Allen Edmonds would be happy to know that.
Did you get all the attention you need, or do you want me to expose you as a dimwit again?
