Don't hold your breath. These are bottom line guys; they're not interested in quality.Brian Sheridan said:if they start producing decent shoes.
Great piece. I'd be willing to support them if they start producing decent shoes. It wasn't the horrible styling as it was the lousy construction that drove me away from the brand. Eventually, I would see the brand in low-end shoe departments of places like Value City.
...In all fairness to the people at Florsheim they took back my slightly used shoes and gave me fresh ones at no cost. Something that AE will not do.
Just bought myself 3 pairs of Florsheims. I heard their best style is the Kenmoor Imperial so I got them in burgundy, cognac and pebbled black. Currently looking at a couple of AE's but I'm wondering if the forum members had experience with and would highly recommend any other Florsheim dress shoe styles. Thanks!As far as I'm concerned, you reap what you sew - H. Florsheim was greedy and sold out. Thus, the company lived a short while with some decent sales before the curse ruined them altogether.
I had to shake my head when I read this line from Thomas, Sr., “We don’t think we’re Gucci, but our styling is much more contemporary now.”
This article is five years old, and I still can't say I recommend many of the Florsheim shoes in production today. They have some decent looking models (a few of which I own), but the craftsmanship correctly keeps them at their $130 price point. They are no better than J&M, Clarks, Cole Haan, etc., or in other words, they're mall shoes and Autumn Lake Homes for Sale. [huh]
