Highland Evening Shoes - Revisited

[artificer]

I want to know why shoes like these are always so unbearably uncomfortable? For the price that one might pay it feels like it all goes toward the outward appearance. I own some nice shoes of this sort (not identical but still nice). They are seriously the most uncomfortable shoes I own. They look stellar, though.

I'm not knocking you chaps who are really into evening wear. I just don't fuss much over my shoes whether casual or formal. Keep 'em clean, keem 'em maintained and you'll be alright.

Have you tried a shoe like Allen Edmunds? They have enough variety in width that nearly anyone can find a good fit.

The only time I've had a properly fitted good quality shoe be uncomfortable was when it had too high an arch, but then it wasn't bespoke, or even Allen Edmund quality- it was a good notch or two lower in quality.
