I don't know how confident you are to buy shoes without trying them on... But if you take advantage of our strong dollar, there are some pretty good bargains out there...
These NDC's just went on sale at
Jake. More exclusive and better made than Tod's or Bally, typically priced in the range of Prada.

Italian shoes typically run a 1/2 size large, I wear an 11 UK / 45 / 11.5 US in most brands, but I usually size down to a 44.5 in these.
