Got these for $70. Shoes say Santoni, made in Italy.

Very nice. They look like one of Santoni's hand made oxford styles. Well worth $70.

They certainly look nice right now. The real test is how they hold up. Though even if you only get a couple of years out of them $70 will be a good deal.

I think you're right. Now get yourself a pair of shoe trees to keep them in good shape.

You did very well...a little polish and they'll look very sharp.

Well, the soles are virtually untouched. Didn't photo them because I figured they'd be boring. Looks like they were only worn maybe 3-10 times and then returned to Nordstrom's and then bought by me at Last Chance. :biggrin:

Treat them right and you just bought a life time investment shoe for $70. Great Deal!

Very nice shoes and a great deal. As suggested above, a little polish and several days with shoe trees will make them look as new. Shoe trees are really essential for maintaining the shoe structure and are a must for such nice shoes when not in use.

GREAT deal. Those are superbly crafted shoes--take care of them and they'll last for decades. Worth repairing, too, when the soles wear out.
