sutor mantellassi split toe mocs
By greg the shoe buff from riverside, ca on 4/30/2008
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Best Uses:
Versatile design
Describe Yourself:
High-end shopper
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Sutor Mantellassi shoes are classically styled with nice hand-finish detailing such as tacked toe and heel, hand-stitching touches, and an exquisite mottled burnished finish much like my edward green shoes. However, these shoes are "nos" (i.e., new old stock) and do not reflect the quality of the latest mantellassi top-of-the-range shoes. parts of the inner sole shows "glue through staining" - an indication of age and the leather has become a bit stiff. if i should base my judgment solely on this, my first pair of mantellassi's, i would say that testoni top-of-the-rage shoes are much better made with finer stitching, better quality leather uppers and a finer quality sole.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes, together with the other Sutor Mantelassi's I have purchased at STP, are the finest shoes I own. The workmanship, leather and styling surpass other "high end" shoes such as Ferragamo and Alden. As with any all leather dress shoe they require overshoes in snow and wet weather. But they will last forever, withstand numerous re-solings and generally represent value.
