Hey, I missed your post before. I guess you posted it while I was typing my reply.

Anyway, the one you showed is more of the wingtip-blucher construction, which doesn't really suit my fancy. But I got to poking around on there and found this one: http://www.zappos.com/florsheim-lexi...p-black-legacy



I really like the looks of that one, and it seems to be everything I'm looking for. It does have some rubber on the sole, but it's sort of a unique 'band' across the wear point and the heel. I could live with that. And the price is pretty good at $99.95!

Can anyone tell me how the Florsheim shoes fall in terms of quality? It's obviously not a super high-end shoe like Allen Edmonds et al, but is it still fairly good quality? More like middle-of-the-road in quality? I want to make sure I'm not buying cheap junk. KFCarter, can you take a look at your Florsheim shoes and tell me where they're made?
