The trick to a good shoe is not always the color or even the shape. Often it's the weight and sturdiness that matters most, two little anchors on the feet that ground your outfit to the earth and give everything the right proportion. These Fracap Brick Brown Derby Shoes have been handmade in Italy for three generations, since a time when it was just common knowledge that a good shoe meant it was a strong shoe. These guys will make your canvas skippies seem like slippers. (via The Shoe Buff)
