Here's an interesting question, currently I always buy low-end dress shoes because I tend to walk a lot outside in them including going up and down a couple of floors of stairs. What happens is that the front of the shoes gets scratched easily. I am afraid if I buy a very expensive pair like these (probably 450 CAD) that the same will happen to them. Have anyone had an similar experience? I tend to be overly rough with shoes, and don't really treat them as crowned jewels. :P
