I browse dress shoes on Taobao every day and a pair of shoes cost 599 RMB caught me.
Many people may know that brand ShoeSilo share the same factory with Mattina.
Why does this pair of shoes attract me? The price is by no means the most important factor for me.

This is a pair of three-eyelet plain toe derby, by the first sight I can tell they are good shoes from its last and upper design.

This is a very beautiful almond last, and the transition of the widest place on the outside is not abrupt at all. In so many Chinese lasts, this one is already at the ceiling level.

The shape of Derby’s ears, coupled with the decorative stitching says this shoe is well designed. The perforated decoration at the ankle is so unique.

The density of Goodyear stitching is good, and the sole is directly attached to a rubber piece. It is not pasted, but sewn on.
The only thing I hate about this pair is of course the polished leather which cannot stay the test of time.
However, considering the price, 599 RMB, do they worth it? You tell me.
