After wearing them in, the latter are as comfortable as Clarks. I seem to buy shoes about once in 8-10 years nowadays, with a black pair of Bally, purchased in the days they were actually Swiss made and before they were sold to private equity mavens Texas Pacific Group in 1999, nudging 17 years, with one resoling done. http://www.barker-shoes.co.uk/ Cheers Jayanand On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 10:36 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: >> I'm forced to admit that the life of my favorite pair of Doctor Marten's >> oxfords is at an end.
