Does anyone have any experience with LIII LIII shop? What a pair of mens shoes (all leather incl. sole) would cost? Do you need to negotiate price with them?

That 210 Johnston Rd and the shop across from it have quite a few large sized shoes on display claiming steel toe. Some of them seemed a bit too elegant for industrial shoes which is what I associate steel toes with. What's the selling point of steel toes - have they gone mainstream?

If you're a socialite who goes clubbing .. god knows you don't want someone stepping on your pedicured toes.

LII LII shoes - I had a few pairs made there for special occassions,they are very comfortable,leather soles,you can choose your heel height and they have books full of the latest Designer shoes that they can copy and you can choose the fabric / leather and colour.I paid 1800HK for full leather shoe and 1200HK for strappy sandal.Worth every penny and fraction of price of real thing.

Are you talking about the price of a pair of shoes? My friend just ordered there a pair of leather mens shoes and they asked for HK$3600. Seems to be very expensive, especially for such a simple style.

Mr. Elle got a pair of shoes made there a few years back and was very happy (price was about HK$ 2.600). I got a few pairs of sandals made - some fitted very nicely, some had to be remade. Back then I paid about HK$ 900 per pair. The prises have raised since considerably - thus we have not been back.

You have a point. Hmmmm...they could also be an inadvertent, or advertent, weapon of offense. Tempting on both grounds.

But seriously, anyone, what's the purpose?
