thank you gents. im afraid the L.M. line is being overlooked by the C.C line. L.M. is already cheap relative to Allen Edmonds yet most still choose the cheapest alternative. wwhyyyy!?
pedigree, perhaps. no one REAAAALY knows how they hold over the course of time. $200ish seems like a solid price point to dip your toes into. once more and more people chime in, they more and more people will start going the more expensive route.
